1943 Map of Andrews

About this map

Andrews sits at the junction of several rail corridors and local roads, serving as a hub between Williamsburg and Georgetown counties. This 1940s survey, updated with 1970s photogrammetric revisions, reveals a landscape defined by extensive low-lying wetlands such as Horse Pen Swamp and Boggy Swamp, which dictate the patterns of settlement. Higher ground is occupied by community landmarks like Antioch Ch and the Mt Lebanon Cem near West Andrews. The commercial growth of the mid-20th century is evident in the presence of a Drive-in Theater and the Andrews Municipal Airport. Rural life is anchored by traditional locales such as Harper Crossroads and Antioch, while the Seaboard Coast Line tracks underscore the importance of the timber and agricultural transport network connecting the coastal interior to the rest of South Carolina.
