About this map

The Little Salkehatchie River and its many meandering tributaries define the low-lying landscape of this Colleton County region. The network of water includes Lemon Creek, Drawdy Branch, and Hurricane Branch, which feed into the primary river system. Historical points of interest for local researchers include Cowpen Ford, a traditional crossing point, and the Butlers Pond Dam D-2824.

Settlement patterns follow a dense web of state-maintained roads, such as State Hwy S-5-172 and State Hwy S-5-450. For those tracing family history in the area, the map specifically locates Prospect Cemetery and Carter Cemetery, situated near the junctions of local routes. The presence of Crooked Pond and other smaller water bodies illustrates the characteristic hydrology of the South Carolina Lowcountry in the early 21st century.
