Description:Excerpt from The Climatology of South Carolina Few, if any, States afford so interesting a field of study in physiography as South Carolina. Her topography varies from marshy coastal lowlands, interior alluvial plains and swamps, sandy highlands, rolling uplands to low mountains, in a series of gradations from the Atlantic Ocean to the southern spurs of the Appalachians. Her shape is that of an an isosceles triangle having its base resting on the ocean and its apex touching the mountains. This triangle is inclosed by the lines formed by the parallels of latitude, 32 degrees and 35 degrees 12 minutes north, and longitude 78 degrees 30 minutes, and 83 degrees 20 minutes west of Greenwich. The State is bounded on the north by North Carolina, on the east by North Carolina and the Atlantic Ocean, on the south by the Atlantic Ocean and Georgia, and on the west by Georgia. Her greatest dimension is a line from Georgetown running northwestward through Columbia to the northwestern part of Greenville County, and measures 241 miles. The longest straight line due north and south is 216 miles, and can be drawn from the southernmost point of Beaufort County to the North Carolina border in York County. The total area is 30,170 square miles, bearing a population in 1900 of 1,340,000, making the density of population approximately forty-four per square mile. The area expressed in acres is 19,308,800, of which 13,958,014 acres were included in farms, and of these farm lands 5,775,741 acres were under tillage in 1899, yielding crops valued at $58,890,413, or about $11 per acre. The entire State is well watered by numerous rivers and their branching tributaries. The principal rivers are navigable from the ocean for varying distances, usually to the points where the lowlands end and the hill country begins. Although the commerce carried by water is as yet comparatively unimportant, it is capable of being greatly increased.
