About this map

Cottageville serves as the primary hub in this Lowcountry landscape, situated where Cottageville Hwy meets the winding Edisto River. The river corridor defines the eastern boundary of Colleton Co and Dorchester Co, dotted with traditional river access points including Norman Landing, Prices Landing, and Goodhope Landing. These landings, along with Harts Bluff and Leveston Bluff, suggest a long-standing relationship between the local communities and the river's path.

Genealogists will find numerous family and community burial grounds throughout the area, such as Ackerman Cem, Williams Cem, and Macedonia Cem. The map captures a transition from the structured street grid of Gloverville and Cottageville to the surrounding rural land, where small settlements like Red Oak Corner and Spelltown Rd are connected by a network of timber and farm roads. Waterways like Sandy Run and Craven Br feed into the Edisto, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped local settlement and agriculture.
