1946 Map of Elloree

About this map

The Congaree River and Santee River dominate this landscape during a period of transition, where the rising waters of Lake Marion begin to reshape the lowlands of South Carolina. The map captures a high density of rural institutions, including Kerswill Academy and numerous family-named landmarks like Wiles Crossroads and Langsynt Plantation. The interior is marked by an extensive network of churches and schools, such as Mt Pisgah Ch and St Peter Sch, which served the distributed agricultural communities between Fort Motte and Elloree.
