About this map

The town of Paxville serves as the northern anchor of this Clarendon County landscape, where the coastal plain is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and slow-moving water. The hydrological character of the region is evident in the presence of Sammy Swamp and Great Swamp, alongside numerous local drainages like Knife Br and Rosehen Br. These features dictate the placement of local settlements and roads, such as the small community of Silver situated south of Paxville.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as the Home Branch Cem near the upper boundary. The map also documents modern land use and transportation, featuring the Palmetto Air Plantation Airport near Halleytown in the southeast. Large depressions like Rosehen Bay hint at the unique Carolina Bay geography prevalent in this part of South Carolina, while named bodies of water like Edna Ward Pond and Berry Pond provide further points of reference for tracing local land ownership and history.
