1920 Map of Eutawville

About this map

The Eutaw Battle Monument marks a pivotal historic site just east of the established town of Eutawville, where the landscape transitions from the high banks of the Santee River into the vast wetland systems of Four Hole Swamp. This 1919-1920 survey captures the region's agricultural and lumbering economy before modern dam projects altered the river's course. A dense network of community infrastructure is visible, including numerous churches like Live Oak Church, Gerizim Church, and Springfield Church, alongside segregated or local education centers such as Target School and Oak Grove School. The Atlantic Coast Line and various regional thoroughfares like Gaillard Road and Coast Road connect the primary settlements of Holly Hill, Vance, and Bulls. The presence of a Lumber Railroad in the northwest corner highlights the importance of the timber industry in the Lowcountry's bottomlands during this era.
