About this map

The eastern edge of Lake City meets a low-lying landscape defined by an extensive network of Carolina bays and drainage basins in this 2017 survey. The boundary between Florence Co and Williamsburg Co cuts across the southern portion of the map, where the terrain transitions into a series of interconnected wetlands including McNamee Swamp, McKnight Swamp, and Parsley Swamp.

Rural life is anchored by family-named landmarks and crossroads like Lee Crossroads to the north. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of numerous family burial grounds and community sites, such as Browns Chapel Cem, Gaskin Cem, and Lynch Cem. Small watercourses like Grahams Mill Br and Gum Br provide clues to early land use and water power in this coastal plain environment, while the road network connects historic routes like N Old Georgetown Rd.
