1919 Map of Pineland

About this map

Pineland and the surrounding Lowcountry landscape appear here as a network of small agricultural settlements and timber interests just after the First World War. The region is defined by its intricate water systems, including the expansive Caiipen Ray and the dark reaches of Coosawhatchie Swamp. These wetlands dictate the placement of early settlements like Robertville and Gillisonville, which are connected by a series of roads and the Southern railroad line. Local industry is anchored by features such as Highsmith's Sawmill, illustrating the era's reliance on the surrounding pine forests.
