1986 Map of Steedman

About this map

Steedman and Samaria serve as the primary focal points of this mid-1980s landscape at the border of Lexington Co and Aiken Co. The topography is defined by an intricate network of waterways draining toward the North Fork Edisto River in the south, including Goose Platter Creek and Carneys Creek. This region is notable for its numerous family-named millponds and water bodies, such as Brodie Millpond, Abells Millpond, and Hallman Millpond, which suggest a long history of local water management and small-scale industry. The presence of Camp Clark and several unnamed cemeteries scattered throughout the rural sections provides valuable points of interest for local historians and genealogists. Infrastructure of the era is marked by a prominent Pipeline and Gas Pipeline corridor cutting across the terrain, illustrating the modern utility expansion into this traditional agricultural and wooded landscape.
