2020 Map of Tillman

About this map

Hectic Savannas and the expansive Great Swamp dominate this Jasper County landscape, illustrating the intricate wetland network that defines the South Carolina Lowcountry. The map details a transition from the dense marshes of Green Swamp and Darn Swamp to the upland settlements of Tillman and Switzerland. Family history is deeply etched into the geography here, with numerous burial grounds such as Mew Cem, Porter Cem, and Arm Oak Cem scattered among the rural holdings. Transport through the damp terrain is facilitated by structures like Wiggins Bridge and Great Swamp Bridge, which span the watercourses that once governed local movement. The road network, including the aptly named Whistle Stop Rd and Dark Horse Trl, suggests a history of small-scale agriculture and timbering integrated into the swampy environment.
