2014 Map of Rembert

About this map

Wateree River winds through the western portion of this landscape, forming the boundary between Sumter and Richland Counties. The local economy is historically tied to the water, as evidenced by the series of mills and their respective ponds, including Ellerbees Mill and Dinkins Mill. Settlements like Boykin, Rembert, and Hagood are linked by a network of roads such as Us-521 and SC-261, which follow the higher ground east of the river’s floodplains. To the south, Stateburg and Sanders Corner mark the transition toward the interior. The map reveals a topography defined by low-lying wetlands like White Oak Slash Lake and Gum Swamp Br, interspersed with small family-named landmarks and historical sites like Willow Grove Cem. This 2014 survey documents the enduring rural character of the region, where numerous named ponds and branches reflect a landscape still shaped by its hydrologic features and early agricultural footprints.
