2011 Map of Pond Branch

About this map

The North Fork Edisto River carves through this South Carolina landscape, defining a region where water management and family history are deeply intertwined. Numerous small impoundments and dams, such as Corbett Lake and Caughman Lake, dot the drainage basins of Hollow Creek and Salem Creek, reflecting the local agricultural and land-use patterns of the early 21st century. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting several established family burial grounds including Hooker Cemetery, Leaird Cemetery, and the Jeffcoat-Chaney Cemetery. A network of local routes like Swansea Rd and Forts Pond Rd connect these rural points, while landmarks such as Jeffcoat Bridge and Pooles Upper Millpond indicate long-standing community centers and historical industrial sites along the moving water.
