About this map

The Francis Marion National Forest dominates this landscape in Berkeley County, where intricate wetlands and small communities define the geography. The map captures a network of blackwater drainage systems including Cane Gully Br, Alligator Cr, and the Little Hellhole Reserve, highlighting the low-lying terrain of the South Carolina Coastal Plain. Small settlements like Bethera and Witherbee serve as local anchors, connected by timber and rural roads such as Hell Hole Rd and Strawberry Rd.

Genealogists will find value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including Berea Cem and Bethel Cem. Historic landholdings are represented by the presence of Kensington and Limerick, while the Witherbee Lookout Tower stands as a landmark of forestry management. The map also identifies numerous crossings and bridges, such as the Nicholson Bridges and Gough Bridge, essential for navigating the complex web of creeks and runs that characterize this forested region.
