2020 Map of Steedman

About this map

The N Fork Edisto River and its numerous tributaries, including Goose Platter Cr and Carneys Creek, define the rural landscape of this Lexington and Aiken County border region. Local settlement patterns are centered around the small communities of Steedman and Samaria, while the smaller hamlet of Rayflin sits to the south near the Rayflin Bridge. The terrain is characterized by a high concentration of private water features such as Brodie Millpond, Abells Millpond, and Bouknight Pond, reflecting a history of local water management for agriculture or milling. Genealogists will find notable burial sites including Boatwright Cem and Bethlehem Cem, alongside landmarks like the Old Rowe School and the Francis Cyril Jones Bridge, which facilitate travel through this creek-crossed countryside.
