2017 Map of Cottageville

About this map

The Edisto River carves a winding path along the eastern border of this Colleton County region, defining a landscape of wetlands and river bluffs. Near Harts Bluff and Leveston Bluff, the terrain shifts from the dense hydrologic networks of Big Bay Swamp and Spooler Swamp to higher ground where the town of Cottageville serves as a central hub. The area is notable for its extensive collection of family and community burial grounds, such as Hughes Cem, Ackerman Cem, and Round O Cem, which reflect the deep-rooted local genealogy of the rural Lowcountry. A complex web of secondary roads like McDanieltown Rd and Rehoboth Rd connects these settlements and landmarks, while natural features like Warrens Savanna and Logging Savanna highlight the historical importance of the local timber and savanna environments.
