About this map

Longtown serves as the central settlement in this portion of Fairfield County, situated amidst a landscape defined by its many creek systems and burial grounds. The geography is marked by the convergence of several county lines, where the boundaries of Fairfield, Kershaw, and Richland counties meet. This area reflects a long-established rural community structure, with ancestral sites like Longtown Cemetery, Antioch Cemetery, and Rock Hill Cemetery scattered along the winding ridge roads.

Water plays a significant role in the topography, from the northern reach of Wateree Lake to the drainage basins of Thorntree Creek and Sawneys Creek. The road network, including historic routes such as Old Brick Store Road and Ridgeway Road, highlights the connectivity between local hubs like Warren Crossroads and the surrounding agricultural and timber lands. This survey provides a clear view of the area's modern land divisions and enduring landmarks.
