Planning a hunt near Martin? A useful Allendale County hunting map combines two sources: public areas from South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and private lines from the county. This Allendale County guide covers: where public hunting land is mapped, how to read private parcel lines, and getting landowner permission the right way.
Getting started with the Allendale County hunting map
If you're looking near Ulmer, public hunting areas are mapped by South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, with rules that vary by area.
Where the parcel data lives
Go first to the ThinkGIS; it covers each assessed parcel around Sycamore and Martin. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along US Route 321 and select the outline, whether the land is near Appleton or elsewhere in the county. In and around Appleton, copy the parcel ID from that panel; every clerk in the county uses it to find the file.
Places you'll see on the map
Allendale is the county seat, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Fairfax, Sycamore, Ulmer, and Appleton, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 7,369 people live in this county (Census estimate, 2023) on roughly 408 square miles around Sycamore. The county dates to 1919, and some chains of title near Ulmer are long.
Safety and courtesy
Leave gates as you found them on land near Ulmer, and carry the owner's contact info; it keeps permission coming back.
Getting answers from the right desk
Recorded documents for a parcel near Fairfax sit in the index kept by the Register of Deeds (in some counties the Clerk of Court), often with an online index. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Ulmer need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
Reading terrain
Switch to aerial imagery near Sycamore, travel corridors and edges stand out; then confirm whose land each feature is on.
Limits of the parcel data
For property near Sycamore, listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real boundary on the ground. Closer to Sycamore, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Sections, lots and bearings
Tracts outside towns near Appleton commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Town lots near Fairfax refer to a recorded plat, making them easier to find. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Ulmer before you request a deed or survey.
Parcel lines for hunters
Private boundaries come from the ThinkGIS, so you can see who owns the land near Fairfax.
Next door to Allendale County
Allendale County borders Burke County, GA, Screven County, GA, Bamberg County, Barnwell County, and Colleton County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Ulmer can be split in two county records, so check the adjacent map as well. If you're looking near Fairfax, our state page lists each neighboring county map across South Carolina.
Contacting owners
Tell the owner near Appleton what you'd hunt, when and with whom, and respect a no.
Before you go
Check South Carolina Department of Natural Resources for seasons and licensing, and know your state's trespass rules before hunting near Sycamore.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Sycamore, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Fairfax is a good backup.
The paper trail behind a parcel
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for land near Sycamore sit with the Register of Deeds (in some counties the Clerk of Court). For property near Appleton, bring the book and page listed on the parcel record and the lookup takes minutes.
