About this map

The Black River winds through the heart of Georgetown County, anchoring a landscape defined by river landings and agricultural settlements during the mid-1940s. Riverside landmarks like Dunbar Landing and Post Foot Landing indicate the ongoing importance of the waterway for local transport and commerce. Inland, the map reveals the layout of Roland Hall Plantation and smaller communities such as Annieville, Dunbar, and Boheek.

A significant portion of the northeastern terrain is occupied by the U S Army Reservation, reflecting the military's footprint in the region during the war years. The topographic detail captures the transition from the dense wetlands of Carvers Bay and Machine Bay to the cultivated lands surrounding Hopewell Ch and St Marys Ch. Numerous watercourses, including Choppee Creek and Stony Run, weave through the timbered bays and lowlands, illustrating the complex drainage of the South Carolina coastal plain.
