1980 Map of Saint Paul

About this map

Lake Marion dominates the western half of this landscape, its waters submerging the former path of the Santee River while creating a complex shoreline of bays and inlets. The transition from terrestrial to aquatic environments is managed through the Santee National Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses specialized habitats like Cantey Bay and inland depressions such as Dingle Pond and Polly Cantey Pond. To the east, the settlement patterns of Clarendon County are centered around Saint Paul and Liberty Hill, where local heritage is anchored by St Phillips Ch and the Liberty Hill Sch. Infrastructure of a previous era is still visible through the Old Railroad Grade, which runs parallel to the modern highway network. Significant transit points like the Francis Marion Bridge and W J Gooding Bridge connect the region across the reservoir, while an Indian Mound on the shore of Cantey Bay hints at a much deeper human history in the area.
