2020 Map of Islandton

About this map

Islandton serves as the primary settlement hub in this South Carolina Lowcountry landscape, situated at the junction of Snyder Hwy and Lodge Hwy. The area's topography is defined by the convergence of the Salkehatchie River and the Little Salkehatchie River along the southern and eastern borders. For genealogists, the map reveals a network of rural burial grounds including Rice Path Cem, Cross Swamp Cem, and Adnah Cem, which provide clues to the region's historical family lineages. The terrain is characterized by extensive wetlands such as Moselle Swamp, Cross Swamp, and Willow Swamp, through which numerous creeks like Ricepatch Cr and Deep Cr flow. Significant elevations are noted along the riverbanks, specifically at Toby Bluff and Tobys Bluff, marking the high ground above the swampy floodplain. The road network, including Ashton Rd and Murdaugh Ave, reflects a rural development pattern influenced by the local drainage systems and river valleys.
