Use the Calhoun County South Carolina map first to locate St. Matthews and Cameron inside a single county outline. St. Matthews provides the administrative reference because it is the county seat; Cameron supplies a second local name. The page then adds verified adjacency, county-scale statistics, and broad regional context while keeping map claims limited to what the image actually contains.

How to Read the Labeled Places
The map is intentionally selective. It labels St. Matthews and Cameron against the Calhoun County boundary, giving readers two recognizable place references without implying that every municipality, road, stream, or local district is shown. St. Matthews is the county seat, while Cameron serves as a second name for orientation. The labels should be read as reference text rather than survey-grade point locations.
Administrative and Size Context
SCAC lists a population of 14,119 and 380 square miles of land for Calhoun County. Within South Carolina’s 46 counties, those figures place it 43rd in population and 45th in land area. The county was founded in 1908, while St. Matthews is the present county seat. Those facts add useful scale and administrative context without changing the primary purpose of the page as a downloadable map reference.
Position Within South Carolina
Calhoun County is described broadly within the upper Coastal Plain setting and lies in the central part of South Carolina. For county-to-county orientation, the most useful verified references are its actual neighbors, including Clarendon County, Lexington County, Orangeburg County. Comparing those boundaries shows where the county sits within South Carolina more reliably than adding unverified road or river detail to a simple county map.
