1979 Map of Clubhouse Crossroads

About this map

Cypress and Ashley swamp waters dominate the northeastern landscape of this Dorchester County region, where the River flows past Schultz Lake and under Sands Bridge. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and subtle elevations like Beech Hill and Rosom Hill. Settlement patterns are dispersed, centered on historic intersections and rural communities such as Clubhouse Crossroads, Knightsville, and Gettysville. The map reveals a network of local institutions essential to these communities, including Givhans Sch and several houses of worship such as Knightsville Ch and Sand Hill Ch. Land use is characterized by a mix of agricultural tracts, such as Cane Acre, and timbered areas cut by Fishburne Creek and Scotts Branch. Several family and community burial grounds, notably Magnolia Cem and Shepherd Grove Cem, are preserved across the lowcountry flats.
