About this map

Hardeeville serves as the focal point of this Lowcountry survey, where the Southern and Seaboard Coast Line railroads intersect. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of wetlands, including the Fourmile Swamp and Great Swamp, which frame the local geography between the Savannah River and the New River. Small settlements and river access points like Purysburg Landing and Mill Stone Landing highlight the historic importance of the river for transport and commerce.

Evidence of local heritage is visible through numerous family and community sites, such as White Hardee Cem, Red Dam Ch, and the Pelote Cem. This edition includes purple revisions from the late 1970s, documenting modern infrastructure like Interchange 8 and Interchange 5 along the highway corridor. These updates provide a clear look at how 20th-century transportation began to overlay the older patterns of agrarian landings and rail stops like Purysburg Station.
