About this map

Hampton and Varnville serve as the primary population centers on this South Carolina coastal plain landscape, connected by a corridor of development that includes the Hampton-Varnville Airport. The region's geography is defined by a dendritic network of slow-moving waterways, most notably the Coosawhatchie River and its various tributaries such as Sanders Branch and Mill Cr. This network historically influenced local movement, as evidenced by named points like Hickory Hill Crossing and Tutens Crossing.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family burial grounds, including Peeples Cem, Thames Cem, and Smith Cem, situated away from the main settlements. The map also documents smaller communities and named locales like Almeda and Camp Branch along the primary road and rail routes. The southern portion of the quadrangle transitions into more low-lying terrain characterized by Lowndes Lake and the wetlands surrounding Horsegall Creek.
