1943 Map of Lodge
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Salkehatchie River and Edisto River carve through a landscape defined by extensive wetlands and family-named landmarks during the early 1940s. This region at the borders of Orangeburg, Bamberg, Dorchester, and Colleton Counties reveals a dispersed rural society centered on small schoolhouses and churches, such as McIlhenny Sch and Hunters Chapel. The swampy terrain is broken by numerous bays, including Piney Bay and Hog Bay, which dictated the early settlement patterns and road placements long before modern drainage changed the local geography.
