2011 Map of Springfield

About this map

The South Fork Edisto River winds through the northern portion of this South Carolina landscape, defining the rural character of the area around the town of Springfield. The town serves as a local hub, featuring the Springfield Post Office and the Springfield Cemetery. To the south, the landscape is dotted with several small impoundments and water bodies, reflecting a history of local water management and milling. Notable features include Matthews Millpond and Willis Millpond, each supported by historically significant dams like the Willis Mill Pond D-3054 Dam. Small settlements such as Whaley, Walker, and the aptly named Healing Springs are connected by a network of local routes like Whaley Rd and Jones Bridge Rd. This survey captures a region where agriculture and natural hydrology intersect, from the banks of Dean Swamp Creek to the various branches that feed into the main river system.
