About this map

Tillman and Switzerland anchor this landscape in Jasper County, defined by a complex network of waterways including the Great Swamp and Broad Water. The geography reflects a region shaped by its low-lying hydrology, where Wagon Branch and Sand Branch thread between scattered homesteads and small settlements. In the northwest, the evocative Hectic Savannas represent a distinct terrain type typical of the Lowcountry wetlands.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through several family-named landmarks. The map records numerous burial sites such as the Rhoden Ward Cemetery, Floyd Cemetery, and Arm Oak Cemetery. Infrastructure is vital for navigating this marshy environment, with notable crossings like the Wiggins Bridge and Great Swamp Bridge providing essential links across the wetlands, while roads like Old Charleston Rd and Purrysburg Rd trace the historical movement of residents through the county.
