2017 Map of Mayesville

About this map

The Scape Ore Swamp and Black River dominate this low-country landscape of eastern Sumter County and southern Lee County. The town of Mayesville serves as the primary hub, situated near the Mayesville Black River Cem and surrounded by a network of rural crossroads and river crossings. The terrain is characterized by intricate wetlands and drainage systems, including Rocky Bluff Swamp, Church Br, and Concord Br, which historically dictated the placement of settlements and roads. Small rural communities and landmarks such as Scottsville, Brunsons Store, and Beulah Cem are connected by a web of local roads like Eastern School Rd and Brick Church Rd. This survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and swamp-bordering settlement patterns of the South Carolina coastal plain, where geographic features like Muldrows Crossing and McBride Crossing remain as vital orientation points for local history and land use.
