1955 Map of Pritchardville

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Pritchardville and the surrounding Lowcountry landscape are defined by a complex network of tidewater rivers and coastal islands during the mid-1950s. The May River and New River wind through the terrain, separating large land masses like Daufuskie Island and Long Island from the mainland. The cultural geography reveals a deep agricultural and religious history, evidenced by the numerous small churches such as St. Matthews Ch and Mt Zion Ch, and several family or community burial grounds including Shad Cem and Moreland Cem. A significant insight into the region's changing land use is found near the Cooper River, where Abandoned Rice Fields mark the legacy of former tidal cultivation along the marshes. This survey, updated in the early 1970s, also documents the Seaboard Coast Line railroad cutting through the north, while river access points like Good Hope Landing and Glasgow Landing continue to serve the water-based economy.
