1919 Map of Olar
USGS Topo · Published 1919About this map
The Salkehatchie River and its companion, the Little Salkehatchie River, define the landscape of this Lowcountry region at the close of the First World War. This 1918 survey illustrates a rural economy organized around the Seaboard Line and Atlantic Coast Line railroads, which facilitated the movement of goods from settlements like Olar and Ehrhardt. The mapping of Numerous 'bays' and 'swamps', such as Horsepen Bay and Bruston Swamp, indicates the hydraulic character of the terrain, where river crossings like Buford Bridge and Rivers Bridge served as vital connective nodes.
