About this map

Sniders Crossroads and Bells Crossroads anchor this landscape in Colleton County, where the Lowcountry's agricultural heritage meets a dense network of blackwater streams and wetlands. The Little Salkehatchie River meanders along the western edge, joined by smaller tributaries like Oldfield Cr and Deep Bottom Cr. The area is characterized by numerous bays—distinctive elliptical depressions—including Parkers Bay, Horse Bay, and Fosters Bay, which create a complex drainage pattern across the region.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as John Herndon Cem, Old Field Creek Cem, and Tabor Cem. The map documents the persistent rural footprint of Hudsons Mill and the outskirts of Ruffin, connected by established routes like Hudson Mill Rd and Ruffin Rd. This modern survey provides a precise record of late 20th-century land use, from the open expanses of Hannah Rhea Field to the developed shores of Westglow Haven Lake.
