About this map

Shiloh Cemetery sits at the northern end of this Colleton County landscape, marking a point of long-standing community history near the Shiloh Loop. The terrain is defined by the slow-moving waters of Black Creek and Sandy Run, which converge as they flow toward the Combahee River in the southwest corner. The map documents a rural network of family and state roads, including Cane Branch Rd and Scuffletown Rd, which thread through the lowcountry pine and wetlands.

Water management is a visible priority here, evidenced by engineered structures like Big Survey Lake Dam D-2547 and Crosbys Pond Dam D-2546. On higher ground, the Cane Branch Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel for fire watch, a common feature in this heavily forested region of South Carolina. The layout of the roads and drainage suggests a landscape shaped by timber management and agricultural heritage.
