2024 Map of Sniders Crossroads

About this map

Sniders Crossroads and Bells Crossroads anchor this modern topographic view of rural Colleton County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Salkehatchie River and its associated wetlands. The area is dotted with numerous small family and community burial sites, providing a wealth of information for local genealogy, including the John Herndon Cem, Ulmer Cem, and the Bethel Church Graveyard. Evidence of the region’s hydrological character is found in the many named bays, such as Deep Bottom Bay and Parkers Bay, which were historically significant for their unique ecosystem and timber potential. The road network connects small rural centers like Hudsons Mill and Hannah Rhea Field, reflecting a settlement pattern that persists around early crossroads and water-driven industry sites.
