1988 Map of Round O

About this map

The small community of Round O serves as a central anchor for this Colleton County landscape, which is defined by a dense network of blackwater drainage systems and Lowcountry lowlands. In the late 1980s, the terrain here was characterized by the convergence of Fuller Swamp Creek and Chessey Creek, where the land begins to transition into the Logging Savanna. Small settlements and road junctions like Drigger Crossroads and Sidney illustrate the rural habitation patterns typical of this region, with local social life often centered around landmarks such as the Baptist Ch. The map detail reveals how the local economy and movement were shaped by the winding paths of Shereau Branch, Horseshoe Lead Creek, and Sandy Dam Branch, which weave between the modest elevation of Burr Hill and the surrounding wetlands.
