About this map

Maidendown Swamp and a complex network of bays and wetlands define the geography between Mullins and the city of Marion in the late 2010s. This landscape is characterized by its numerous elliptical depressions known locally as bays, including Big Horsepen Bay, Piney Bay, and Wolf Pit Bay. These natural features have historically shaped the layout of local infrastructure, forcing roads to navigate around the waterlogged basins.

Genealogists and local historians will find several small burial grounds distributed throughout the rural spaces, such as Brown Cem, Livingston Cem, and Ammons Cem. The economy of the area is represented by the Marion County Airport and the rail siding at Koonce. Water management and historical industry are visible at Gaddy Mill Pond and along Little Reedy Creek, illustrating how the community integrated with the coastal plain's drainage systems.
