About this map

The Coosawhatchie River and its intricate tidal tributaries dominate this Lowcountry landscape in Jasper County, South Carolina. The settlement of Coosawhatchie serves as a central point where transportation corridors converge, including a major interstate and local routes like Gilmania Rd. The surrounding terrain is defined by numerous necks and islands, such as Grahams Neck, Gregorie Neck, and Dawson Island, which reveal the historical reliance on these natural landforms for navigation and boundary marking.

To the south and west, smaller communities like Bashan and Ricetown are positioned near the wetlands of Bees Creek and Little Bees Creek. The map detail shows a network of named roads, such as Spanish Moss Rd and Rice Shire Rd, winding through the wooded areas and along the waterfront. At Deloss Point and Huguenins Neck, the land meets the marsh, illustrating the traditional settlement patterns of the South Carolina coast.
