About this map

Ashwood and the surrounding coastal plain of the South Carolina Midlands are defined by an intricate network of wetlands and small agricultural communities. This 2017 survey shows the landscape as it straddles the boundary between Lee and Sumter Counties, where the slow-moving waters of Scape Ore Swamp and Rocky Bluff Swamp weave between long-established settlements. The area maintains a rural character centered on junctions like DuBose Crossroads and Mechanicsville, which are connected by a grid of county roads such as Rembert Church Rd and Woodrow Rd.

Genealogists will find significant local value in the several cemeteries documented here, including Rembert Cem, Antioch Cem, and Hebron Cem. The map also illustrates local aviation and recreation through the presence of the Sumter Airport and the waters of Ashwood Lake. The drainage patterns of Lee Swamp and Coupen Swamp further highlight the low-lying, water-rich geography of the Oswego quadrangle.
