About this map

The Edisto River snakes through this low-country landscape, defining the character of a region marked by extensive wetlands and historic river crossings. River access points like Mas Old Field Landing and Russell Lake Landing highlight the waterway's role as a local artery. The terrain is divided by a complex network of named drainages, including the broad Four Hole Swamp to the east and Deep Creek cutting through the center.

Settlement patterns are reflected in small clusters like Holly Ridge and the crossing at Givhans Bridge. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding family landmarks and burial sites. Significant local history is preserved in the naming of the Givhans Ferry Cemetery, Rumph Cemetery, and Muckenfuss Cemetery, which serve as spatial anchors for the area's long-established family lineages. These features, alongside historic spans like Harleys Bridge, document a rural community deeply tied to its hydraulic geography.
