About this map

St. George serves as the focal point of this Dorchester County landscape, anchored by the Dorchester County Courthouse and a surrounding network of local roads. The town is situated at a key intersection of regional transit, where the Norfolk Southern railway lines parallel the modern highway corridors. Surrounding the town center, several smaller communities such as Badham and Byrd are visible, each with its own local identity defined by the nearby wetlands.

The geography is heavily influenced by the low-lying drainage basins of the Indian Field Swamp and Polk Swamp, which create a natural boundary for agricultural and residential development. For those researching family history, the map identifies numerous small burial grounds including Saint George Cem, Saint James Cem, and the more remote Walters Cem and Proctor Cem. This modern survey documents the persistent rural character of the South Carolina Lowcountry while showing the infrastructure of the St George Airport to the east.
