2017 Map of Osborn

About this map

Caw Caw Swamp and Drayton Swamp dominate the low-lying terrain of this Lowcountry landscape, where the boundary between Dorchester Co and Charleston Co is defined by drainage patterns and historic thoroughfares. The settlement pattern is characterized by distinct rural nodes such as Delemar Crossroads, Warren Crossroads, and Capwells Crossroads, which serve as junctions for local travel. Higher ground is marked by features like Raven Hill and Coon Island, providing contrast to the surrounding Horse Savanna. Transport routes like the historic Parkers Ferry Rd and Old Jacksonboro Rd parallel the southern rail corridor through Ravenel, Jericho, and Osborn. Evidence of local history and land use is preserved in names like Lacy Plantation and the White Cem near the junction of State Hwy 165.
