1942 Map of Cedar Creek

About this map

Santee River and the vast wetlands of the Francis Marion National Forest dominate this 1942 landscape on the border of Georgetown and Berkeley counties. The map captures a primarily rural and swampy terrain, defined by the winding course of Wadmacon Creek and the low-lying Wadmacon Island. Small settlements like Lambert are sparsely distributed, often situated near the Seaboard Air Line railroad which cuts diagonally across the northern woods. Lowland features such as Mackey Bay and Bino Bay are interspersed with subtle rises like Big Hill and Jack Hill. Along the riverbanks, locations such as Price Landing suggest historical points of water access and local river-based activity. The presence of Trinity Ch and the secluded Denis Lodge provides specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the mid-century development of this South Carolina coastal plain.
