About this map

The winding Black River and its intricate network of tributaries define the landscape of this Georgetown County region. Small agricultural and residential clusters are scattered throughout the lowlands, including the settlements of Kent, Olin, and Bethel. Near the center of the map, the Bethel Cemetery serves as a significant genealogical landmark for local families. The terrain is characterized by extensive wetlands such as Brightman Swamp and Indian Hut Swamp, which historically influenced the placement of roads like Gapway Rd and Indian Hut Rd.

To the south, Oak Grove and Spring Gully mark the transition toward the coastal plains. The map also captures distinctive hydrographic features like Kellys Pond and Halfway Bend, illustrating the natural water management of the South Carolina backcountry. This 2011 survey documents the modern road network and persistent rural communities before the continued expansion of the surrounding coastal counties.
