About this map

Sampit River and its accompanying lowlands define this part of Georgetown County, where the transition from dense swamp to settled farmland is marked by a network of rural roads and scattered small communities. The terrain is characterized by intricate drainage systems like Boggy Swamp and Summons Swamp, which feed into the larger river and Wadmacon Creek to the south. Historically significant nodes such as Sampit, New Hope, and Lodge Hall are linked by long-established thoroughfares including Powell Rd and East CCC Rd.

Kilsock Island sits as a prominent landform amidst these waterways, illustrating the traditional landscape of the South Carolina coastal plain. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Mount Zion Cemetery at the southern edge and family-named routes like Tom Moultrie Rd offer specific points of interest for tracing community development. The map also captures the extent of rural residential patterns at Cumberland and Foster Corner.
