About this map

Francis Marion National Forest dominates this South Carolina landscape, where the Santee River forms the northern boundary against Wadmacon Island. The terrain is defined by its drainage into the Wambaw Swamp, with numerous named waterways like Wambaw Creek and Coffee Creek Swamp carving through the timberland. Mapping conducted by the Army Map Service in 1942 highlights a network of small, rural settlements and isolated landings that served the local river economy.

Genealogists will find interest in the scattered points of activity including Wesley Sch and the Honey Hill Lookout Tower. Along the riverbanks, Pleasant Hill Landing and Pitch Landing indicate historical access points to the water, while interior crossroads such as Honey Hill, Charley Bridges, and Thompson Corner show the distribution of residences and farms before modern development. The map also clearly delineates the county lines between Berkeley, Georgetown, and Charleston counties, providing essential context for regional history.
