About this map

Walterboro serves as the central hub of this South Carolina Lowcountry landscape, where the modern street grid meets the winding currents of the Ashepoo River. The town's historical geography is anchored by several long-standing burial grounds, including Liveoak Cem and Grace Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research in Colleton County. To the northwest, the settlements of Stokes and Rhodes Crossroads define the rural character of the area, punctuated by the headwaters of Doctors Cr and Jones Swamp Cr.

The terrain is defined by the expansive Great Swamp and a network of wetlands that have historically shaped local movement and development. Infrastructure like the Lowcountry Regional Airport and various timber-related roads such as Westvaco illustrate the area's transition from traditional swamp-based economies to regional transportation hubs. From the high ground at Bullet Hill to the banks of Ireland Cr, the map records a landscape where community life remains closely tied to the surrounding river systems.
