1981 Map of Sylvania

Railroad infrastructure remains a vital component of the landscape, with the Central of Georgia and Seaboard Coast Line cutting through small towns like Estill, Sardis, and Fairfax. These rail corridors highlight the historical movement of goods across the Lowcountry and Coastal Plain. Researchers can trace the drainage of the Coosawhatchie River and Salkehatchie River as they meander through the southeastern portion of the map, illustrating the complex river systems that have shaped the agriculture and travel of this borderland for generations.
