1918 Map of Green Pond

About this map

The Combahee River and Ashepoo River snake through a dense landscape of South Carolina lowcountry wetlands, defining the tidal environment of Colleton and Beaufort counties. In 1918, this area was a critical corridor for the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line railroads, which facilitated the movement of goods through settlements like Whitehall and Green Pond. The map reveals a deeply established social fabric evidenced by numerous rural houses of worship, including St Marys Church, Bosom Bottom Church, and First African Church. The transition from water to land is marked by complex islands such as the Williman Islands and Chisholm Islands, separated by thoroughfares like Schooner Channel. Along the riverbanks, remnants of earlier eras appear at Old Fort and the Combahee Ferry crossing, while the local economy is anchored by sites like Waters Store and the rail siding at Ashepoo.
