About this map

The Salkehatchie River and its parallel counterpart, the Little Salkehatchie River, define the landscape of this Hampton and Colleton County region. The community of Cummings sits at a crossroads in the western portion of the map, connected to Fechtig by a straight stretch of road cutting through the lowcountry terrain. This area is characterized by numerous watercourses, including the Broadwater Br, Tennants Br, and the notably named Ricepatch Cr, suggesting a long history of water-dependent land use.

Local history is grounded in specific sites such as Crews Cem, located near the intersection of Crews Cemetery Rd and Shaffer Corner Rd. The map preserves several family-named thoroughfares like Walter Riley Rd, Fisher Rd, and Eldridge Ln, which offer starting points for genealogists tracing ancestral property. The path of the Old Salkehatchie Hwy runs roughly parallel to the river, following the traditional travel corridors of this South Carolina interior.
