About this map

Wateree Lake and the meandering Wateree River dominate this landscape north of Camden. The map illustrates a rural South Carolina corridor defined by historic family and community landmarks, particularly evident in the concentration of burial grounds such as Ebenezer Cem, Saint Matthews Cem, and Chestnut Cem. These sites, along with small settlements like Rabon Crossroads and Cantey, provide essential reference points for genealogical research in Kershaw County.

Water plays a central role in the area's geography, from the shoreline of Wateree Lake near Buck Hill to the various inlets and branches like Sawneys Cr and Grannies Quarter Cr. The transition from the lake to the river is marked by Loves Shoals, while further south, the land rises toward Knight Hill. This layout reflects a long history of settlement tied to the river valley's resources and the evolving transportation network of Kershaw County.
