1950 Map of Bethera

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Bethera and the surrounding Berkeley County wetlands are documented here in the years following World War II, showing a landscape defined by the Seaboard Air Line railroad and the timber-rich tracts of the Francis Marion National Forest. The map captures a transition in land use, from established settlements like Limerick and Kensington to the research-driven acreage of the Santee Experimental Forest. The distinctive Carolina bays, such as Walleye Bay, Little Hellhole Bay, and Boggy Head Bay, dominate the topography, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of Peters Swamp and Jericho Swamp. Social and economic life is marked by local landmarks like Berea Ch, Bethel Ch Cem, and the Herberta Siding, while a Landing Strip near Witherbee highlights the area's utility for forest management and transportation during this era.
