2020 Map of Calfpen Bay

About this map

Gillisonville sits at the northern edge of a landscape defined by an intricate network of wetlands and seasonal drainages in Jasper County. This modern survey captures the persistence of the Lowcountry terrain, where the vast Great Swamp and Calfpen Bay dominate the central and southern reaches of the quadrangle. The drainage pattern is marked by numerous branches and creeks, including Savannah Br, Beaverdam Br, and Elbo Cr, which feed into the larger swamp systems. A series of long-established transit routes, such as Calf Pen Bay Rd and Tarboro Rd, cut through the dense vegetation, connecting isolated settlements to the larger region. The nomenclature of the road network, featuring names like Davant Plantation Dr and Derry Plantation Truck Rd, reflects the deep-rooted agricultural and land-ownership history of this part of South Carolina.
