2014 Map of Sycamore

About this map

The Salkehatchie River meanders across this Lowcountry landscape where the borders of Allendale, Bamberg, and Barnwell Counties converge. This area is defined by its deep history of river crossings and small crossroads settlements, notably at Bufords Bridge and Sycamore. The map reveals a rural network of swampy lowlands and family-named landmarks, including Tutens Millpond and several established burial grounds like Miller Creek Cem and Harter Cem. The transport infrastructure follows long-established routes, such as the Confederate Hwy and Burton's Ferry Hwy, which connect the interior to former ferry and bridge sites. Evidence of forestry and fire management appears at the Ulmers Lookout Tower near Ulmer, while numerous waterways like Miller Swamp and Bear Br carve through the coastal plain terrain.
