Description:
Abstract:
This publication contains a georeferenced 1936 map of a control survey by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, the United States Geologic Survey, the United States Forest Service and other surveys. It was surveyed from 1933 to 1936 under the supervision of the Forest Supervisor. Four inch (4") field sheets were prepared from aerial and ground surveys and reduced at the regional office in Atlanta, GA. The map was traced in 1935 and 1936.
Purpose:
This map indicates property ownership in Berkeley County, South Carolina in 1936 and includes the area of the Santee Experimental Forest (SEF).
Supplemental_Information:
The map has been georeferenced so that other SEF spatial data can be overlaid on the map in a GIS program. The SEF is located in the southeastern portion of the map, as the rest of the ownership parcels are within Berkeley County.
