1943 Map of Jamestown

About this map

The Santee River carves through the heart of this Lowcountry landscape, separating the dense wetlands of the Santee Swamp from the managed lands of the Francis Marion National Forest. During this mid-century period, the Seaboard Air Line railroad served as the primary industrial spine of the region, connecting small settlements like Dorien Sta and Jamestown to broader markets. The map reveals a transition in river transit, marking the location of Lanes Ferry (Abandoned), which once provided a vital link between Berkeley and Williamsburg counties before modern infrastructure superseded it.
