2020 Map of Mill Bay

About this map

Lake City anchors the southern portion of this region, where the town's grid meets the agricultural landscape of Florence County and Williamsburg County. The terrain is defined by a series of Carolina bays—distinctive elliptical depressions such as Indigo Bay, Mill Bay, and Otten Bay—which punctuate the low-lying coastal plain. These natural features, along with the meandering Lunches River and numerous drainages like Cypress Branch, have historically dictated the placement of roads and farmsteads. Smaller communities such as Camp Branch, Scranton, and Coward are connected by a network of rural routes, including the W Old Number 4 Hwy and Salem Rd. Local history is preserved at sites like the Camp Branch Cem, while the surrounding wetlands and creek systems, such as Lake Swamp, continue to shape the rural character of this South Carolina interior.
