About this map

Lake Marion and the winding Santee River define this lowland region at the meeting point of Sumter, Calhoun, and Clarendon Counties. The landscape is a complex network of wetlands and tributaries, including Tavern Creek and Warley Creek, leading into the dense bottomlands of Congaree National Park in the northwest. This modern survey illustrates how water and terrain have historically dictated the placement of small rural communities and church centers.

Local history and genealogy are centered around long-standing landmarks such as Fulton Crossroads and the rail-adjacent settlement of Rimini. Important community sites include the Saint Mark Baptist Church Cem and Pine Grove Lutheran Church Cem, which serve as primary anchors for family researchers in this area. From the northern heights of Milford down to the shores of the Santee, the map detail captures the intersection of historical family roads and modern access points to the lake.
