About this map

The Waccamaw River winds through this section of Columbus County, defining a landscape of wetlands and isolated islands. Local history is anchored by family names preserved in sites like Clewis Cemetery, Etheridge Cemetery, and Blackmon Cemetery. The settlement of Riverview sits near the river's edge, while South Old Dock and Honey Field mark small clusters of development further west.

Drainage and water management are evident through the Mark Pine Canal and The Fishponds, which contrast with natural water bodies like White Marsh and Juniper Creek. A series of islands rise above the surrounding swampy terrain, including Buck Island, Snake Island, and Sweetgum Island. These features, along with the Crusoe Community Hall, illustrate a community shaped by its proximity to the river and the intricate network of branches like Bear Branch and Gum Swamp Run that feed it.
