2014 Map of Saint Stephen

About this map

St. Stephen and the neighboring community of Russellville occupy a landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Santee River and the northwestern reaches of Lake Moultrie. This Lowcountry terrain is marked by expansive wetlands such as Big Bay, Walker Swamp, and Halfway Swamp, which illustrate the complex water management and natural drainage patterns of Berkeley County. The map reveals a high density of burial grounds including Oldfield Plantation Cem, Saint Stephens Cem, and Sunset Memorial Cem, which serve as significant markers for genealogical research in an area with deep agrarian roots.
