1990 Map of Old Dock

About this map

The Waccamaw River carves a winding path through the heart of this coastal plain landscape, separating the intricate swamp systems of Green Swamp and Boggy Swamp. In the early 1990s, the rural character of southeastern Columbus County is defined by its relationship with water and timber, visible in the extensive network of drainage features like the Mark Pine Canal and White Marsh. Settlement is concentrated along the higher ground bordering these wetlands, particularly at the communities of Old Dock and South Old Dock. These small hamlets and the nearby Riverview serve as local hubs, anchored by institutional landmarks such as the Old Dock Sch and several country churches including Palmyra Ch and Magnolia Ch. The map also captures numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries like the Formyduval Cem, providing a detailed look at the area's genealogical footprint before modern development expanded.
