2017 Map of Andrews

About this map

Andrews and its surrounding communities sit at the intersection of Georgetown and Williamsburg counties, where the lowcountry landscape transitions into a complex system of bay and swamp formations. The town’s grid is flanked by several distinct neighborhoods and crossroads, including West Andrews, Harper Crossroads, and Italy, while the rural outskirts are defined by family-named landmarks like Cherry Hill and Cross Bay Ridge. This 2017 survey reveals the intricate water network of the Black River basin, characterized by numerous named wetlands such as Chicken Swamp, Boggy Swamp, and the unique elliptical depressions of Ricefield Bay and Waterhole Bay. Local heritage sites are preserved at Harmony Cem and Mount Lebanon Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research in this region. The presence of the Robert F Swinnie Airport and a network of secondary roads such as Gapway Rd and Tar Heel Rd illustrates the modern infrastructure layered over this traditionally agricultural and swampy terrain.
