2020 Map of Bucksville

About this map

The Waccamaw River carves a winding path through this corner of Horry County, defining a landscape of expansive wetlands and historic riverside settlements. Bucksville and Bucksport serve as focal points along the river's edge, reflecting a long-standing relationship with the water. The intricate drainage network is visible through features like Old River Seven Prongs and Peach Creek, which wrap around Oatbed Island. To the east, the modern influence of the Intracoastal Waterway is evident as it cuts through the terrain near Socastee, contrasting with the more organic flow of the river. Genealogists can identify localized landmarks such as the Buck Graveyard and smaller communities like Klondike and Ransoms Bluff. The map illustrates a region where dense swamp systems like Big Swamp and Halfway Swamp hem in residential development, dictating the placement of roads and homesteads.
