South Carolina Regional Study

Recently I have been studying a lot about the different regions of South Carolina. Farmers are very limited to what they can grow due to the type of soil and other conditions that are controlled by their locations. I have learned that our state varies widely in terms of topography and other geographical conditions, which makes for an interesting array of farmers across the state.
Here are some interesting maps that display the regions of South Carolina.


Here are some significant marked areas in each region that influence agriculture in that area economically and geographically. 
Blue Ridge Region- Blue Ridge Mts, headwaters of Saluda River, Lake Keowee, Chattooga River area, Greenville, Pickens county, Oconee county
Piedmont Region- Catawba river, Old English District: York, Chester, Union, Fairfield, Lancaster, Kershaw, Chesterfield County
Sandhills Region- Congaree river, the Sandhills, Lake Murray, the Broad River, Saluda, Columbia
Coastal Plain Region- Pee Dee, Santee, Lake Marion, Lake Moultrie, Edisto River
Coastal Zone Region- Barrier Islands, Sea Islands, Ace Basin: Ashepoo, Combahee, South Edisto Rivers
