2024 Map of Long Branch

About this map

The Salkehatchie River winds through a landscape of wetlands and timber north of Barnwell, where the coastal plain terrain is defined by low-lying basins and scattered family burial grounds. This modern survey illustrates the proximity of the Barnwell Regional Airport to the rural communities of Snelling and Long Branch, reflecting the region's balance between aviation infrastructure and traditional agricultural roots. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of small cemeteries such as Bates Cem, Old Field Cem, and Hair Cem, which are tucked away near local tributaries like Rosemary Creek and Buck Creek. The map provides a contemporary perspective on historical land patterns, highlighting established church sites including the Long Branch Church Graveyard and Seven Pines Church Graveyard, which remain central landmarks in this corner of Barnwell County.
