2022 Map of Old Dock

About this map

The Waccamaw River and the extensive wetlands of White Marsh dominate this part of Columbus County, where the landscape is defined by its transition between land and water. The small settlement of Old Dock sits at a critical junction near the river, while several family-named islands rise above the surrounding terrain, including Pine Island and Sweetgum Island. This area preserves a high density of rural burial sites, providing significant genealogical value through the Etheridge Cem, Clewis Cem, and Ross Cem. The presence of the Mark Pine Canal and The Fishponds suggests a history of water management and local resource utilization within the vast Green Swamp. Transport remains focused on rural routes like Hallsboro RD S and Crusoe Island RD, which connect these isolated riverine communities.
