About this map

The Black River and Pocotaligo River converge in this water-rich corridor of the South Carolina lowcountry, creating a complex landscape of swampy depressions known as bays. These elliptical features, including Cypress Bay, Pigeon Bay, and the colorfully named Junkyard Bay, dot the terrain alongside small settlements like Foreston and Wilson. The drainage pattern is defined by slow-moving water bodies such as Dogwood Pond and Home Lake, which feed into the larger river systems.

Transport and community life center on historical junctions and small-scale infrastructure. Cypress Fork Crossroads and Brewington Crossing mark long-standing transit points, while the Brewington Cem and the Pocotaligo Airport serve the local population. The map also captures the Clarendon Co Williamsburg Co boundary, illustrating the jurisdictional lines that bisect these agricultural and forested lands.
