1988 Map of Islandton
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
The Lowcountry landscape of Colleton County is defined here by an intricate network of wetlands and river systems, centered around the small settlement of Islandton. This 1980s-era study captures the winding paths of the Salkehatchie River and its tributary, the Little Salkehatchie River, which delineate much of the area's natural boundaries and drainage patterns. The terrain is characterized by extensive lowland basins such as Moselle Swamp and Whippy Swamp, interspersed with slight elevations like Tobys Bluff. Smaller waterways, including Ricepatch Creek and Rum Gully, feed into these larger systems, reflecting a region where human habitation has long been dictated by the seasonal rise and fall of the water table. The map also records the jurisdictional boundary where the landscape transitions into Colleton and Hampton Counties, providing a clear view of the rural road network connecting isolated homesteads and farms.
