About this map

The town of Summerville serves as the focal point for this survey, showcasing a landscape defined by its network of swamps and early transport corridors during the late 1910s. The Berkeley Dorchester county line bisects the area, where the Southern RR and Atlantic Coast Line facilitate regional movement. Local industry and education are deeply integrated into the rural fabric, evidenced by a dense distribution of rural institutions such as the Whitesville School, New Hope School, and Appai School.

A notable specialized landmark is the Clemson Coast Express Station, located near Drainland. To the north and east, the terrain becomes increasingly aqueous, dominated by the Wassamasaw Swamp and Black Toms Bay. These wetlands are dotted with small settlements and crossroads like Moncks Corner and Carns Cross Roads, reflecting the historical settlement patterns along the edges of the South Carolina Lowcountry river systems.
