About this map

Old Fort Dorchester stands at a bend in the Ashley River, anchoring a landscape where colonial history meets mid-century suburban expansion. In this 1957 survey, updated with 1971 revisions, the transition from the wooded savannas of Round Savanna and Horse Savanna to organized settlements is clearly visible. The area around Stallsville and Centerville shows significant growth, while traditional rural landmarks like St Lukes Ch and Boone Hill Ch remain prominent.

Private land use is a defining characteristic of this terrain, evidenced by several sporting properties such as the Burbage Hunt Club and the Wragg Barony Hunt Club. Along the river, the presence of Middleton Gardens and Greggs Landing highlights the historic importance of the waterway for both leisure and commerce. Infrastructure such as the Bacon Bridge and the Southern railroad line facilitate movement across the low-lying creeks like Eagle Creek and Sawmill Branch.
