2024 Map of Bucksville

About this map

Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge dominates this modern topographical survey of coastal South Carolina, where the winding Waccamaw River meets a complex network of wetlands and tidal creeks. The settlement of Bucksville serves as a focal point for local genealogy, preserving the Buck Cemetery and Hebron United Methodist Church Cemetery. These sites, along with Marlow Branch Cemetery, offer critical points of reference for tracing family history in Horry County. The landscape is defined by the transition from the river’s natural course, including features like Oatbed Island and Ransoms Bluff, to the engineered Intracoastal Waterway passing near Socastee. Historical river crossings are still noted at Peachtree Ferry, while inland, the proximity of Bucksport and Klondike reflects the persistent layout of these rural communities amidst the expansive Big Swamp and Cowford Swamp lowlands.
