About this map

The Waccamaw River carves a winding path along the border of Columbus and Brunswick counties, anchoring a landscape defined by extensive wetlands and scattered rural settlements in the late 1980s. The river's serpentine course is flanked by large named tracts of low-lying terrain like Bee Tree Swamp and Hog Swamp, punctuated by higher ground such as Sand Hill and Sweetgum Island.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family history landmarks, including the Inman Cem, Smith Cem, and Ganus Cem. Local community life is centered around small crossroads and parish sites like Bethesda Ch in Reeves, and the settlement of Ash. Further south, the community of Longwood serves as a hub near Scipio Swamp, while a Sandpit and a Gaging Sta on the river reflect the modest industrial and hydrological monitoring of the era.
