About this map

Grissett Swamp and a network of blackwater drainages dominate this coastal plain landscape along the North Carolina border. The area is defined by massive elliptical depressions known as Carolina Bays, including Marsh Bay, Jenrette Bay, and Cross Bay, which dictate the placement of small agricultural settlements like Bughill and Dulah. These communities are connected by a system of rural routes such as Guide Road and the Ironhill Road, tracing the higher ground between the wetlands. The presence of several distinct houses of worship, such as the Dulah Mormon Church and Old Zion Ch, alongside the Dothans Sch, illustrates a decentralized rural society centered on local congregations and small schoolhouses. An Old Tram Road cutting through the eastern portion of the map suggests a history of timber extraction from the dense swamps long before this mid-century survey was conducted.
