2014 Map of Staley Crossroads

About this map

Staley Crossroads serves as a central junction in this rural landscape, where the borders of Lexington, Calhoun, and Orangeburg counties meet. The area is defined by an extensive network of water and wetlands, notably the broad Caw Caw Swamp and Coupen Swamp, which dominate the drainage patterns of the coastal plain. Local industry and land use are reflected in the numerous private water bodies, such as Smiths Falls Pond, Rast Pond, and the Wannamakers Upper I-26 Pond, many of which appear to be family-owned impoundments. Aviation history in the region is marked by small-scale facilities including Alan's Airport and the descriptively named Do-Little Field Airport. The map also traces the winding courses of Limestone Cr and Murph Mill Cr, highlighting a terrain where traditional agriculture and swampy bottomlands coexist alongside modern transportation corridors.
