About this map

The town of Mayesville serves as the focal point of this map, positioned near the intersection of the Florence Hwy and Mayes Open Rd. The landscape is defined by the significant hydrological systems of the Scape Ore Swamp and the Black River, which wind through the lowlands of Sumter and Lee Counties. These waterways dictate the local geography, creating natural boundaries and influencing the placement of early crossings and settlements.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family-named landmarks and historic sites, including the Black River Cem and Beulah Cem. Further south, the map identifies small rural hubs such as Scottsville, Muldrows Crossing, and McBride Crossing, which reflect the historic transit patterns along the river valley. The presence of Brunsons Store at the southern edge of the sheet further illustrates the dispersed nature of this agricultural and swamp-adjacent community in the early twenty-first century.
