About this map

Richard B Russell Lake dominates the western edge of this Abbeville County landscape, where the inundated shoreline meets a network of creeks and rural crossroads. The settlement of Latimer serves as a southern anchor near the banks of McKenley Cr, while Brownlee Crossroads sits to the north. The area is dense with family and community history, evidenced by a high concentration of burial sites such as Old Rocky River Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Midway Cem.

Drainage patterns like Morrow Creek and Shanklin Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic character of the Savannah River basin. Local transit is defined by a web of named rural routes, including Bulls Horne Rd and Gassoway Farm Rd, which connect scattered homesteads and timberlands between the larger water bodies. This 2014 survey captures a quiet, established rural environment before further modern development might alter these traditional property and community lines.
