About this map

Shaw Air Force Base dominates the northwestern landscape of this Sumter County region, surrounded by a complex network of mid-century residential developments and rural crossroads. The transition from industrial military installations to established neighborhoods like Cherryvale and Marden Ranchettes is clearly visible, while older community anchors remain preserved in the form of numerous cemeteries such as Saint Lukes Cem and Four Bridges Cem.

Hydrological features define the low-lying terrain, with Mush Swamp and Hatchet Camp Br winding through the southern reaches. The map captures a detailed inventory of the area's expansion westward from Sumter, including newer suburban clusters like Audubon Park and Millwood Gardens. This survey also documents the local water management through features like New Millpond and Boyle Pond, providing a clear picture of how natural drainage systems and human settlement patterns have integrated in this South Carolina coastal plain environment.
