1943 Map of Bucksville

About this map

Waccamaw River navigation and the timber-rich Big Swamp define this coastal South Carolina landscape, based on surveys conducted during World War II and updated in the early 1970s. The settlement at Bucksville serves as a focal point along the river, while further south, Bucksport sits near the junction of the Old River and the winding Bull Creek. This area illustrates a mid-century transition as river-based transport at sites like Peachtree Landing and Enterprise Landing intersected with the newer Intracoastal Waterway. Rural life is anchored by several local institutions, including Hebron Ch, Waccamaw Ch, and the Richardson Sch. An Old Railroad Grade cutting through the swamp near the Georgetown County line suggests the area's earlier industrial activity, likely tied to the region's logging history.
