2017 Map of Snelling

About this map

Snelling and the western outskirts of Barnwell anchor this South Carolina landscape, where the water systems of the coastal plain dictate the settlement pattern. The northern reach is defined by the Salkehatchie River, while the southern portion transitions toward the Barnwell Co Allendale Co border. Local industry and historical transport are evidenced by the concentration of hydraulic sites like Patterson Mill and Hayes Mill Pond, alongside crossings such as Pattersons Bridge over Lower Three Runs. Small rural nodes like Owens Crossroad and Boiling Springs serve as landmarks in an area dominated by creek drainages including Bodiford Mill Cr and Gantts Mill Cr. The map preserves the location of the Holmes Cem, providing a precise reference for genealogists and local historians tracking family lineages in this part of the Savannah River watershed.
