2020 Map of Sumter West

About this map

Shaw Air Force Base dominates the northern landscape of this South Carolina study, providing a clear view of its expansive airfield and infrastructure adjacent to Shaw Heights. Moving south and east, the terrain transitions into the suburban and residential outskirts of Sumter, where neighborhoods like Bon Air Terrace and Millwood Gardens meet established sites like Evergreen Memorial Park. The map documents a complex hydrography defined by the Mush Swamp and the Green Swamp, as well as numerous man-made and natural water bodies such as Loring Millpond and Upper Deerwood Lake. Rural genealogy is well-supported by the inclusion of family-named burial grounds and small community landmarks, from Miller Cem to the Saint Johns Cem. This survey illustrates the modern road network, including the Patriot Pkwy and Wedgefield Rd, as they navigate the wetlands and savannas that characterize this portion of Sumter County.
