About this map

Tony Hill Bay and Schofield Swamp dominate this Lowcountry landscape in Colleton County, characterized by the distinct elliptical depressions known as Carolina Bays. The hydrography of the region is defined by the Little Salkehatchie River and various tributaries including Brier Creek and Hurricane Br. Human imprint on the land is visible through a network of rural roads such as Hunters Chapel Rd and Howells Mill Rd, which connect the scattered agricultural and timber interests of the area.

Genealogists and local historians can identify cultural landmarks like Prospect Cem and Carter Cem, which provide specific points of reference for family research in the vicinity of Copeland Drain. The presence of the Shiloh Plantation Airport near the southern border highlights the continued use of private airfields in this rural South Carolina corridor, where the Bamberg Co and Colleton Co line meets.
