The Salkehatchie River and its wide, swampy basin form a natural boundary between Hampton and Colleton counties in this 1918 survey. The landscape is a network of rural communities defined by a remarkable density of local institutions, from Huggins Oak School and Polly Bottom School to numerous houses of worship like Adnah Church and Peniel Church. This distribution suggests a highly localized social life where small settlements like Islandton and Fechtig served as anchors for the surrounding timber and agricultural lands.
