About this map

Maidendown Swamp and a series of elliptical depressions known as Carolina Bays define the landscape of Marion County in this contemporary survey. The map details the transition from the concentrated residential blocks of Mullins and North Mullins to the sprawling agricultural and wetland terrain to the west. These elliptical features, such as Big Horsepen Bay, Little Horsepen Bay, and Wolf Pit Bay, create a unique mosaic of damp basins and higher sandy rims that have historically dictated land use and road patterns in the South Carolina Coastal Plain.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by numerous family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, including the Livingston Cem, Ammons Cem, and Baxley Cem. Infrastructure such as the Marion County Airport and the waters of Gaddy Mill Pond are shown alongside the rural community of Koonce. The map captures the enduring rural character of the region, where the roads navigate between extensive bay formations like Tenmile Bay and Grassy Bay.
