Big Camp
 
     South of Mexico and west of the canal is Big Camp, a plantation formerly owned and cultivated by the Santee Canal Company. It is now the property of Mr. Mazyck Porcher.
     We now take the road which diverges below Greenland Swamp from the Santee River road, and proceed southwardly toward the completion of our survey. Travelling through a dense forest with occasional glimpses of the reservoirs of the Santee Canal, we come to Eady Town, once the seat of a village of half breeds, who are now I believe extinct but now the site of a large church and Camp Meeting ground of the Methodist Church. A short distance below on the right hand side is Halls (51).
