About this map

Barnwell and Allendale serve as the primary hubs in this region of South Carolina during the late 1910s, connected by a network of railways including the Atlantic Coast Line and the Southern. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Salkehatchie River and numerous smaller water bodies such as Green Savanna Lake and Fiddle Pond. Rural life is anchored by a high density of community centers, from Hagoods Mill to a significant concentration of country churches like New Hope Church, Smyrna Church, and Beautiful Gate Church.

Industry and transport are intertwined along the Augusta Road and the Charleston and Western Carolina railroad. Education in this era is represented by localized structures such as Hercules School, Jackwood Pond School, and Big Forks School. The survey captures the transition of the South Carolina lowcountry before modern highway systems, showing old crossings like Stinson Bridge and many small-scale settlements including Appleton, Seiglingville, and Baldoc.
