1946 Map of Hyman

About this map

Lynches River meanders through the center of this 1940s landscape, marking the boundary between Florence and Williamsburg Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of blackwater drainages including Big Swamp, Boggy Swamp, and Singleton Swamp, which likely dictated the settlement patterns of the era. On higher ground, agricultural crossroads such as Poston Crossroads, Bazen Crossroads, and Bartell Crossroads served as social hubs, often anchored by country churches like Stone Chapel or schools like the Mannheim School.
