1943 Map of Freeland

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Waccamaw River carves a winding path through the heart of this landscape, defining the border between Columbus Co and Brunswick Co. During the early 1940s, the region was characterized by extensive wetlands and swampy basins like Bee Tree Swamp and King Swamp, interspersed with small settlements such as Freeland and Ash. The topography reveals an area reliant on timber and agriculture, with evidence of earlier industry visible in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts through Simmons Bay Lees. Community life is anchored by local landmarks including New Britton Ch, Gore Chapel, and the Waccamaw Sch. The presence of several bridges, such as Bear Branch Bridge and Wet Ash Bridge, highlights the critical infrastructure required to navigate the dense network of tributaries like Bear Branch and Possum Br that feed into the Waccamaw.
