2024 Map of Maple Cane Swamp

About this map

The Edisto River carves a winding path through this corner of the Lowcountry, serving as the natural boundary between Dorchester and Colleton counties. The river's influence is evident in the surrounding landscape of dense wetlands, including the expansive Maple Cane Swamp and the dark waters of Four Hole Swamp. This region is characterized by a high concentration of small, family-named burial grounds like Rumph Cem, Muckenfuss Cem, and Ferguson Cem, which are scattered among the timbered tracts and rural homesteads.
