About this map

Salters and its historic Salters Depot anchor this portion of Williamsburg County, where the Lowcountry landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and river drainage. The Black River meanders through the center of the quadrangle, flanked by numerous large swamp systems including Thorntree Swamp, Laws Swamp, and Dickey Swamp. These natural boundaries have historically shaped the local road network and settlement patterns, concentrating development at strategic intersections like Bryans Crossroads.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of Salters Cemetery and Union Cemetery. The map also documents smaller rural communities such as Carris, Taft, and the riverfront area at Boswells Beach. Modern infrastructure, such as the W S McCollough Junior Pond and its associated dam, sits alongside older transit corridors like Gapway RD, reflecting the ongoing evolution of this rural landscape.
