2020 Map of Williams

About this map

Smoaks, Williams, and Ruffin anchor this low-lying stretch of Colleton County, where the Little Salkehatchie River and several of its tributaries, including Buckhead Cr and Deep Bottom Cr, shape the agricultural landscape. The area is notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, such as the Colonel Joseph Risher Cem, Warren Key Cem, and Strickland Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The CSX Transportation line cuts through the southwestern corner, connecting these rural outposts. The terrain is marked by distinctive features like Horse Bay and Adobe Flats, illustrating the unique hydrology of the South Carolina Coastal Plain where wetlands and stream beds often define property and municipal boundaries.
