2020 Map of Barton

About this map

Woods Crossroads and Moores Crossroads anchor the upper reaches of this Lowcountry landscape, where the Coosawhatchie River and its numerous tributaries like Little Duck Branch drain the marshy terrain. The map reveals a dense network of family and community history through its many burial grounds, including the Smart Cemeteries and Smyrna Cem. The transition from the established seat of Allendale in the north down toward Barton and the Allendale-Hampton county line is marked by a mix of agricultural fields and significant wetlands such as Swallow Savanna and Levy Bay. For the local researcher, the placement of landmarks like the Allendale County Airport and the distinct junction at Lopers Crossroads provides clear spatial context for modern and historic land use patterns in this rural corridor.
