1943 Map of Cummings

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The Salkehatchie River and its dense network of swamps, including Moselle Swamp and Cross Swamp, dominate this Colleton County landscape during the early 1940s. This Army Map Service edition reveals a rural economy organized around crossroads and river crossings, with the Charleston and Western Carolina railroad cutting through the southwestern corner near Cummings and Fechtig. The map serves as a detailed record of communal life, marking dozens of country schools such as Piney Grove Sch and Cedar Branch Sch, alongside numerous local churches including Antioch Ch and Adnah Ch. The presence of Hudsons Mill and several schoolhouses named for mills, like Bentons Mill Sch, points to the area's historical milling industry. Isolated topographic features like Tobys Bluff and the low-lying Polly Bottom provide specific landmarks for those tracing the family lands of this riverine district.
