1943 Map of Plantersville

About this map

Chicora Wood Plantation and a string of other riverfront estates define the western bank of the Pee Dee River in this coastal South Carolina landscape. Mapped during the early 1940s, the area retains the footprint of a river-dependent economy, where landings like Upper Topsaw Landing and Lower Topsaw Landing served the wetlands surrounding Bull Island. The terrain is characterized by the complex hydrology of the Waccamaw River and Thoroughfare Creek, which weave through the marshy expanse of Sandy Island. Inland, the settlement of Plantersville sits at a crossroads near the edge of a significant U S Army Reservation. Small rural centers are marked by social landmarks such as Mt Carmel Ch, St Mark Sch, and the community at Gilliard. The map captures a transition between the established plantation system and the increasing federal presence in Carvers Bay.
