About this map

The Savannah River defines the western edge of this 1918 survey, its winding course marked by landings and points such as Fennell Hill Landing and Wildcat Pt. Inland, the Lowcountry landscape of the South Carolina-Georgia border is a network of small agricultural settlements and rural social centers. Numerous schools, including Buddenville School and Near River School, are scattered across the terrain alongside crossroads like Woods Crossroads and Solomons Crossroads.

A distinct concentration of religious life is evident through labels for the Sweet Bethel Church, Thompson Chapel, and Smyrna Church. The transportation network of the era is anchored by the Charleston and Western Carolina railroad, which passes through Barton and Sanders. The inclusion of Revolutionary Road suggests long-standing historical transit routes through the cypress ponds and savannas that characterize the local geography.
