2024 Map of Rhems

About this map

Black River and its intricate drainage network define this coastal South Carolina landscape, where the Williamsburg Co Georgetown Co line bisects the territory. The map details a region characterized by extensive lowlands, including the significant Black Mingo Creek and the southern reaches of Burnett Swamp. Small rural communities like Rhems, Rose Hill, and Red Hill are linked by a web of county roads that navigate around the winding watercourses. For local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of several community landmarks, including Saint-Johns Church Graveyard near Old Morrisville and the Wilson Cem near Choppee. The presence of Browns Ferry on the river indicates a historical crossing point that long served as a vital transportation link in this swampy terrain, anchoring the local economy to the water before modern bridges dominated the landscape.
