About this map

Piscola Creek and its tributary Pine Branch define the drainage of this borderland territory in the mid-1950s, where the rural communities of Baden and Empress sit along the Southern railroad line. The map illustrates a landscape transitioned into managed timber and small-scale agriculture, marked by several prominent bay and lake features like Stanley Bay and Sandy Lake.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including the Radford-Denson Cem and Union Cem, alongside several country congregations such as Hickory Head Ch and Mt Moriah Ch. Educational sites are well-represented by the Liberty Sch, South Side Sch, and New Empress Sch. Near the Georgia Florida state line, the Watson Line boundary is clearly delineated, and the Catledge Hill Lookout Tower serves as a notable high-point landmark in this Lowcountry terrain.
