1943 Map of Olin

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Black River snakes through this portion of Georgetown County, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and timbered bays. This mid-century survey, based on 1940s data with later 1970s revisions, highlights the rural infrastructure of the era, where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad provided a vital corridor for small communities like Olin and Sampit Sta. Significant social hubs are visible throughout the quadrangle, including the Indian Hut Club near Kellys Pond and several country sanctuaries such as Bethel Ch and Newlight Ch. The geography is dominated by distinctive "bays" and swamps, most notably the expansive Gapway Bay and Brightman Swamp. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of the Britt Branch Sch and the Bethel Cem, offering a clear view of the settlement patterns that existed before modern development altered the region's character.
