1979 Map of Long Branch

About this map

The Salkehatchie River and its swampy tributaries dominate this Barnwell County landscape, providing a stark contrast to the nearby industrial and aeronautic developments of the late 1970s. Along its western edge, the map documents a portion of the Savannah River Plant Department of Energy, marked by significant Restricted zones. This juxtaposition of a highly secure federal nuclear facility against traditional rural settlements like Snelling and Rosemary illustrates the mid-century transformation of the South Carolina lowcountry.
