1988 Map of Mc Phersonville

About this map

Mcphersonville and the winding course of the Coosawhatchie River anchor this Lowcountry landscape in the late 1980s. The map illustrates a region defined by its water systems and scattered rural settlements, where the river serves as a natural boundary between Hampton and Jasper counties. Tributaries such as Mcpherson Creek, Cypress Creek, and Tulifiny River thread through the terrain, supporting the agricultural and timber-driven economy of the era. Small communities like Early Branch, Barkerville, and the evocatively named Possum Corner are linked by a network of rural roads, while a Lookout Tower near the county line suggests the importance of forest management. The presence of Davidson and Kress along the eastern edge, combined with features like Buckfield and Backwater, reflects a geography deeply tied to the coastal plains' unique hydrological patterns and local lineage.
