About this map

The Santee River carves a winding path through the heart of this Lowcountry landscape, separating the bottomlands of Gregler Swamp and Wittee Island from the upland settlements. To the south, the Francis Marion National Forest encompasses a significant portion of the terrain, where small communities like Washington and Palmerville are connected by historical routes such as French Santee Rd and Gilliard Lake Rd. The town of Jamestown sits as a central hub near the Leneuds-Ferry Bridge, a crossing point that has long served as a vital link across the river.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks preserved on this modern survey, including the Saint James Cem near the junction of Simmons Rd and Dutart Trl. The map also details numerous water features that define the local geography, such as Dutart Cr, Savanna Cr, and Sarah Drain, which feed into the primary river system. In the northern reaches, the transition between Singletary Forks and Oceda reflects the persistent rural settlement patterns of Berkeley and Georgetown counties.
