2012 Map of Wateree

About this map

Eastover and Kingville anchor the northern reaches of this Richland County landscape, situated where the high ground begins its descent toward the great river bottomlands. The southern half of the map is dominated by the meandering course of the Congaree River, which carves deep bends like the Devils Elbow and creates a complex network of seasonal waterways including Running Lake, Big Lake, and Little Lake. This area reflects a long history of river-dependent settlement and land use, evidenced by the scattered burial grounds that serve as landmarks for local families, including Joyner Cemetery and Goodin Cemetery.
