About this map

The Salkehatchie River and its complex network of tributaries define this part of the South Carolina Lowcountry, where the landscape is a mosaic of dense wetlands and small rural settlements. The boundary between Colleton and Hampton counties follows the meandering river, illustrating how natural drainage patterns dictated local political borders. The map records several small communities and junctions, including Crocketville, Miley, and Cleland Crossroads, each serving as local hubs in an area dominated by timber and agriculture.

Water-driven features like the Maulding Millpond on Sandy Run point to historical industry, while large-scale drainage features such as Whippy Swamp, Caw Caw Swamp, and Moselle Swamp reveal the challenging, water-logged terrain that shaped regional development. In the southern portion, the growth of Hampton is visible, including its Golf Course and local infrastructure, providing a detailed look at the county seat during the late 1980s.
