1919 Map of Sewee Bay

About this map

Twelvemile School, Fifteenmile School, and Eighteenmile School follow the inland progression of the Lowcountry landscape during the late First World War era. This survey, conducted in cooperation with the War Department, captures a transitional coast where industrial timbering intersected with traditional riverine settlements. A prominent Tramway cuts a diagonal path across the terrain, likely serving the logging interests that operated within the dense Iron Swamp and surrounding wooded areas.
