About this map

The town of Furman serves as the central hub of this South Carolina Lowcountry landscape, situated at the intersection of local routes in southern Hampton County. The map documents a transition from the structured street grids of Estill and Scotia to the more dispersed agricultural and wetland areas of Stafford and De Loach. Significant hydrological features like Black Swamp, Zigzag Branch, and Johnson Big Pond dominate the drainage patterns of the region, reflecting the low-lying, water-dense geography typical of this part of the state.

Researchers will find a network of named rural roads such as Lebanon Church Rd, Mount Carmel Rd, and Steep Bottom Rd that link various family-named locations and former plantation sites like Knotty Pines Pltn. The southern edge of the sheet follows the Hampton County and Jasper County boundary, capturing the rural character of these coastal plain communities as they appeared in the early twenty-first century.
