2014 Map of Sniders Crossroads

About this map

Sniders Crossroads and Bells Crossroads serve as the primary hubs for this rural Colleton County landscape, where the Lowcountry HWY and Bells HWY intersect. The western edge is defined by the winding course of the Little Salkehatchie River, which feeds into wetlands like Bryans Lake. This area is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous family and community burial grounds including Old Field Creek Cem, Breland Cem, and the John Herndon Cem. Evidence of the region’s aviation and industrial history appears at the Hannah Rhea Field Airport and the site of Hudsons Mill. Away from the main highways, the terrain is characterized by broad basins such as Parkers Bay and numerous small watercourses like Oldfield Creek and Deep Bottom Cr, which drain the low-lying coastal plain between Ruffin and the surrounding timberlands.
