2020 Map of Canadys

About this map

The Edisto River carves a winding course through the Lowcountry of South Carolina, serving as the border between Dorchester and Colleton counties. This 2020 survey reveals a landscape defined by significant wetlands and family-named landmarks, particularly clustered around the settlements of Grover and Canadys. The map is notably dense with small burial grounds, including Westbury Cem, Seigler Cem, and Utsey Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing regional family lines. Along the river, distinctive topographical features such as Serenity Bluff, High Bluff, and Hatteras Bluff rise above the surrounding swampy terrain. Extensive hydrologic networks like Polk Swamp and Indian Field Swamp dominate the northern half of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the coastal plain as they feed toward the main river channel.
