2020 Map of Saint Stephen

About this map

St. Stephen serves as a central hub in this corner of the Lowcountry, situated near the headwaters of Lake Moultrie and the sprawling wetlands of Halfway Swamp. The landscape is defined by the sharp boundary between Williamsburg Co and Berkeley Co, where the Santee River snakes eastward. This 2020 record captures a mix of timberland and established rural communities, with the Francis Marion National Forest occupying the southeastern quadrant. The map is particularly detailed regarding local genealogy, noting several burial grounds such as the Oldfield Plantation Cem and Sunset Memorial Cem. Transportation patterns are anchored by the rail corridor passing through Gourdin and the grid of residential streets in Russellville. Large topographical features like Big Bay emphasize the low-lying, water-dominant character of this South Carolina region.
