About this map

Civil War Entrenchment earthworks north of Ridgeland anchor this wartime survey of the South Carolina Lowcountry. The landscape is defined by its sprawling estuarine network, where the Broad River and Cheechessee River divide the mainland into numerous necks and islands such as Spring Island and Callawassie Island. This era captures a river-dependent economy in transition, marked by numerous named landings including Cherry Point Landing and Coles Landing, while inland, the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line railroads represent the primary transit corridors. The transition from the dense Great Swamp to the tidal Cheechessee Marsh illustrates the complex topography of Beaufort and Jasper counties, dotted with small settlements like Grahamville and Old House. Detailed labels for dozens of artesian wells, or Art Wells, reflect the region's historical reliance on specific groundwater sites for coastal agriculture and habitation.
