About this map

Lynches River winds through the heart of the Carolina coastal plain, anchoring a landscape where Lee, Florence, Darlington, and Sumter counties meet. The settlement of Lynchburg serves as a central hub, flanked by South Lynchburg and the community of Cartersville to the northeast. This 2017 survey illustrates a region defined by its complex hydrology, where expansive wetlands like Deep Hole Swamp, Douglas Swamp, and Pudding Swamp dictate the placement of roads and homesteads.

Local history and genealogy are preserved in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle, including Saint Pauls Cem and Sanders Cem. The infrastructure reflects a long-standing agricultural and industrial presence, noted by the Asphalt Plant Rd and the legacy of the Old Railroad Ave. From the crossroad at Atkins to the winding course of Threemile Br, the map provides a contemporary view of these established communities and their relationship with the surrounding lowlands.
