1921 Map of Eutawville

About this map

The Eutaw Springs Battle Monument stands near the south bank of the Santee River, marking a landscape defined by colonial-era roads and early 20th-century agriculture. This survey captures a region anchored by Eutawville and Holly Hill, where the Atlantic Coast Line railroad dictates the flow of commerce through the Lowcountry. The map reveals an intricate network of rural institutions, including Gerizim Church, Bethlehem Church, and the Camden Road School. To the south, the dense wetlands of Four Hole Swamp and Toney Bay contrast with the cultivated uplands along the Gaillard Road. The prevalence of landings like Nelsons Ferry suggests the historical reliance on river crossings before modern bridge infrastructure dominated the Santee basin. Researchers will find a high density of named family landmarks and small community centers like Ferguson, Milligans, and Connors.
