1979 Map of Pringletown

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Four Hole Swamp dominates this landscape along the border of Berkeley and Dorchester counties, creating a dense network of braided wetlands and creek branches. In the late 1970s, this area remained largely rural, centered around the settlement of Pringletown and a significant cluster of community churches such as Mt Pisgah Ch, Bethel Ch, and the House of God. The map reveals a transition from the heavy vegetation of the swamp to the developed grounds of the Mac Dougall Youth Correction Center, which includes its own Landing Strip and Sewage Disposal Pond. Local water bodies like Lake Merkel and numerous named branches, including Rock Branch and Timothy Creek, define the drainage patterns. For the genealogist, the distribution of churches and small cemeteries provides a clear view of the social geography and family settlements in this corner of the South Carolina Lowcountry.
