About this map

The Savannah River defines the southwestern boundary of this 1978 survey, where the river's winding course is marked by engineered features like Cutoff No 7A and Sisters Cut. This corner of the Lowcountry is characterized by its agricultural settlements and extensive wetlands, notably the Black Swamp and Cypress Branch that permeate the landscape between Robertville and Garnett. The presence of numerous rural houses of worship, such as Solomon Temple, Antioch Ch, and St Marys Ch, reflects the long-standing community nodes of Jasper County.

Transportation patterns on this map tell a story of changing infrastructure, from the active Seaboard Coast Line passing through the western edge to the Old Railroad Grade further east. Along the river, the Sisters Ferry Road leads toward the water near New Landing, tracing historic transit routes. Significant genealogical sites include the Black Swamp Cem and Bostic Cem, providing critical records for local family history research in the area.
