1921 Map of St George

About this map

St George serves as the focal point of this 1919 survey, situated at the junction of the Southern railroad and the historic Augusta Road. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Edisto River, which creates a natural boundary between Dorchester and Colleton counties. This era reveals a high density of rural social infrastructure, including the Indian Field Campgrounds and numerous denominational anchors such as Jerusalem Church and Green Pond Church. The presence of the Lumber R R and sawmill operations in Badham highlight the importance of the timber industry in the Lowcountry's early 20th-century economy. Smaller hamlets like Reevesville and Grover are clearly mapped alongside a network of one-room schools, including Turkey Pond School and Cattle Creek School, providing a detailed view of the region's decentralized settlement patterns before modern consolidation.
