2020 Map of Saylors Lake

About this map

Sandy Run and Oak Grove sit at the center of this rural South Carolina landscape, where the Congaree River carves a winding path along the border of Richland and Calhoun counties. The river's influence is clear in the numerous oxbows and floodplain features like Saylors Lake, Roundabout Lake, and the prominent peninsula known as Bell Hall Neck. This 2020 survey reveals a community defined by its long-standing family and religious sites, such as Mount Zion Cem, Mount Moriah Cem, and Zion Pilgrim Cem. Moving away from the swampy lowlands of Mullers Swamp and Boggy Gully, the terrain rises toward Haigs Hill and Red Hill, showing a network of secondary roads such as Old State Rd and Columbia Rd that connect these agricultural and residential pockets. The topography is dotted with small, named water bodies including Struckman Pond and Jamison Pond, reflecting the localized water management of the region.
