About this map

The Salkehatchie River and its intricate network of tributaries, including the extensive Whippy Swamp and Caw Caw Swamp, define the landscape of this Lowcountry region. The map reveals a pattern of dispersed rural settlements and historic family-named locations such as Crocketville, Miley, and Cleland Crossroads. These small communities are linked by a web of local routes like Old Salkehatchie Hwy and Mozzelle Hwy, which navigate around the dense wetlands and low-lying drainages like Calico Branch and Hog Branch.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of religious and burial sites across the quadrangle. Landmarks such as the Hickory Grove Church Graveyard, Harmony Church Graveyard, and Harrison Cemetery are preserved in the cartographic record. The presence of features like Turpentine Still Rd provides a specific nod to the historic naval stores industry that once dominated the pine forests of Hampton and Colleton counties.
