1982 Map of Sycamore

About this map

The Salkehatchie River and its accompanying wetlands define the eastern corridor of this South Carolina landscape, where the boundaries of Allendale, Barnwell, Bamberg, and Hampton counties converge. Small agricultural settlements such as Ulmer and Sycamore are connected by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, illustrating the long-standing reliance on rail transport for this rural region. Numerous country churches and family-named cemeteries are scattered across the terrain, including Mizpah Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and Kirkland Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in the Lowcountry. To the south, the presence of Tutens Millpond and Miller Swamp highlights the hydrology of the area, while landmarks like Ulmers Lookout Tower and Phillips Airstrip indicate localized infrastructure and fire management during the early 1980s.
