2024 Map of Andrews

About this map

Andrews serves as a central hub where the boundaries of Williamsburg and Georgetown counties meet, surrounded by a complex network of wetlands and low-lying swamps. The landscape is defined by the transition from the concentrated street grid of the town to the sprawling drainage systems of Black River Swamp and Big Dam Swamp. The presence of Potato Ferry on the Black River north of town points to the historic reliance on river crossings in this water-dominant geography, while Robert F Swinnie Airport marks more contemporary infrastructure. Rural communities like Antioch, Italy, and Harper Crossroads anchor the surrounding timber and agricultural lands. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites and congregations, including Piney Grove Cem, Harmony Cem, and the Ebenezer Baptist Church, which provide essential touchstones for tracing family history in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
