2013 Map of Freeland

About this map

The Waccamaw River carves a meandering path through this part of Brunswick County, creating a landscape of dense wetlands and isolated high ground. Small crossroads communities like Freeland, Ash, and New Britton are situated along the primary roads that navigate around significant topographical features such as Wet Ash Swamp and Scippio Swamp. The map details the transition from the river's floodplains to slightly elevated areas like Sand Hill and Beech Island, which provided critical sites for early settlement and agriculture in this coastal plain environment.
