About this map

Black River and Black Mingo Cr dominate this landscape on the boundary of Williamsburg and Georgetown counties, shaping a network of wetlands and small agricultural settlements. The area is characterized by several distinct family and local communities, including Willie Towne, Dorseytown, Old Morrisville, and Choppee. The presence of Black Mingo Cem and Wilson Cem provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing families in this corner of the South Carolina Lowcountry.

Transportation patterns are defined by historic river crossings and rural corridors, most notably the Browns Ferry Bridge and the landing at Cow Head Landing. The map illustrates a complex drainage system with numerous named features such as Burnett Swamp, Smith Swamp, and Big Dam Swamp, which dictate the placement of roads like Browns Ferry Rd and Coline Rd as they navigate the saturated terrain between the major river systems.
