2024 Map of Black Creek

About this map

Black Creek winds through the wetlands of the Lowcountry in this modern survey of the South Carolina coastal plain. The landscape is defined by its water systems and rural landmarks, notably the Black Creek Baptist Church Cem and the Shiloh Church Graveyard. These sacred sites, along with Saint Mary Cem, serve as primary focal points for genealogical research in an area otherwise characterized by dense swampy terrain and sprawling timberlands. Local hydrology is complex, featuring named basins like Horse Bay and Big Survey Lake, alongside Bull Creek and the Combahee River. A network of rural roads including Low Country Hwy, Cane Branch Rd, and Scuffletown Rd connects these isolated points of interest, tracing the path of local settlement through the marshy interior of Colleton County.
