About this map

The Savannah River defines the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the state line meets the lowlands at White Womans Point. This territory, situated along the Barnwell and Allendale county line, is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including the swampy reaches of Lower Three Runs and the headwaters of the Coosawhatchie River. The settlement pattern centers on the small communities of Martin and Baldock, which are connected by a grid of rural routes and farm-to-market roads.

Local history is preserved in the naming of roads and landmarks, with family names appearing on labels such as Furse Mill Rd and Slaton Farm RD. The presence of the Revolutionary Trl suggests deep ties to the region's colonial and military past, while Chert Quarry Rd points to the area's geological and extractive history. The terrain is relatively low-lying, shaped by the drainage of Smith Lake Cr, Miller Cr, and Bentley Br.
