2014 Map of Barton

About this map

Barton and the surrounding crossroads of southern Allendale County are defined by the winding course of the Coosawhatchie River and its numerous tributaries. This landscape, as it appeared in the early 21st century, is a network of rural connections between historic settlements like Woods Crossroads, Moores Crossroads, and Lopers Crossroads. Genealogists will find a wealth of local-history data in the many family and community burial sites scattered across the county, including the Swallow Savanna Cem, Smyrna Cem, Googe Cem, and the Smart Cemeteries. The transition between Allendale and Hampton counties is marked by the course of Beech Br, while the local economy and transportation are anchored by the Allendale County Airport and the Allendale-Fairfax Hwy. From the waters of Harters Pond to the residential outskirts of Fairfax, the map traces the intersection of modern infrastructure with the long-established geography of the South Carolina Lowcountry.
