About this map

Black River meanders through a landscape defined by extensive wetlands and scattered rural settlements in this part of Georgetown County. The low-lying terrain is punctuated by significant water features such as Brightman Swamp, Indian Hut Swamp, and the broad expanse of Gapway Bay. This map documents a modern layout of small communities like Olin and Kent that are deeply integrated into the swamp-dominated geography of the Lowcountry.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named locations such as Bethel, which is anchored by the Bethel Cem off Gapway Rd. The road network, including Alt 17 passing through Oak Grove and Spring Gully, reveals the contemporary connectivity between these established crossroads. The intricate network of creeks, such as Lanes Creek and Ports Creek, highlights the importance of drainage and water management in this coastal plain environment.
