2017 Map of Canadys

About this map

The Edisto River meanders across the Lowcountry border of Dorchester and Colleton counties, defining a landscape shaped by significant wetlands and small rural settlements. Near the community of Canadys, the river is flanked by Serenity Bluff and High Bluff, illustrating the modest elevations that rise above the river's floodplain and Cane Island. North of the river, the settlement of Grover sits near a dense network of family-named burial grounds, including the Westbury Cem, Utsey Cem, and Wallace Cem. The area’s hydrological character is further established by extensive drainages such as Polk Swamp and Indian Field Swamp. This 2017 survey details the enduring rural road network and the integration of infrastructure like the SCE and G Ash Pond within the traditional riverine environment.
