2017 Map of Privateer

About this map

Brunson Swamp and Sammy Swamp define the low-lying hydrology of this landscape south of the city of Sumter. The community of Privateer serves as a central hub, surrounded by a complex network of residential roads and agricultural land. Significant water features including Cain Millpond, Stubbs Pond, and Jones Pond reflect a history of local water management and milling, while the Sand Hills terrain to the west offers a distinct contrast to the eastern wetlands. Cultural and genealogical markers are well-represented by Smith Cem, Reynolds Cem, and Hillside Memorial Park, providing clear points of reference for local family history research. The southern boundary marks the transition between Sumter Co and Clarendon Co, following the winding path of Broadway Br.
