1919 Map of Lodge
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The Edisto River and Little Salkehatchie River define the low-lying terrain of this 1919 landscape, where extensive swamp systems like Schofield Swamp and Little Swamp dictated the placement of early South Carolina settlements. The town of Branchville sits at a critical junction in the north, while the Atlantic Coast Line and the specialized Lumber RR track the economic dependence on timber and regional transit. This survey reveals a dense network of local institutions essential to rural life, including schools like McIlhenny School and Hopewell School, alongside numerous country churches such as Hunters Chapel and Carter Ford Church. The placement of Sandy Island Bridge and Potts Bridge highlights the historical river crossings that connected these disparate farming communities before the modern highway system restructured the region.
