1921 Map of St George

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

The Edisto River snakes along the boundary between Dorchester and Colleton counties, anchoring a landscape defined by its blackwater swamps and rural parish outposts. In this early 1920s survey, the Southern railroad corridor serves as the primary artery for commerce, linking settlements like St George, Reevesville, and the timber-focused hamlet of Badham. Away from the tracks, the area is meticulously dotted with community hubs, including the Indian Field Campgrounds and dozens of rural institutions such as Turkey Pond School and Jericho Church. The map captures the intricate drainage system of the Lowcountry, where the Indian Field Swamp and Polk Branch feed into the river system. Researchers will find a high density of named schools and churches, reflecting the distributed settlement patterns of a region still deeply tied to its agricultural and lumbering roots before modern highway expansion.
