About this map

The settlement of Grays serves as the primary focal point of this Lowcountry survey, situated near the boundary line between Hampton Co and Jasper Co. The landscape is defined by its intricate drainage network, where the Coosawhatchie River flows in the northeast and numerous tributaries such as Cypress Creek and Horsepen Creek carve through the coastal plain.

Genealogists and local historians can identify rural burial sites marked simply as Cem, reflecting the distributed nature of early family and community life in this part of South Carolina. The transition of the terrain is further illustrated by features like Cane Gall and Johns Pen Creek, providing a detailed look at the water-driven geography that dictated land use and road patterns in the late 20th century.
