2017 Map of Steedman

About this map

Steedman and the surrounding borderlands of Lexington and Aiken Counties are defined by the winding course of the North Edisto River and its numerous tributaries. The landscape is dotted with legacy water features that reflect a history of local milling and agriculture, including Abells Millpond, Brodie Millpond, and Hallman Millpond. The settlement pattern centers on small rural communities like Samaria and Rayflin, while cultural landmarks such as the Old Rowe School and the Francis Cyril Jones Bridge anchor the area's social geography. Local family histories are preserved through several rural burial grounds, including Boatwright Cem and Bethlehem Cem. The transit network is a mix of traditional county roads like Old Chalk Bed Rd and modern corridors, illustrating how this South Carolina Piedmont area has balanced its agrarian roots with increasing regional connectivity.
