2011 Map of Pireway

About this map

The Waccamaw River corridor and the surrounding lowlands of the North Carolina-South Carolina border define this 2011 topographic study. Small communities like Pireway, Dulah, and Bug Hill are interconnected by a network of local roads that cross numerous watercourses, including Grissett Swamp and Big Cypress Swamp. The landscape is notably marked by family and community landmarks, such as Bethel Cemetery and Saint Stevens Cemetery, providing significant reference points for local history. Numerous named crossings, including Eddie Ford Bridges, Cane Break Bridges, and Ramsey Ford Bridges, highlight the historical necessity of navigating this complex wetland environment. The map details the transition from the upland settlements of Bethel and Pine Level toward the river flats, offering a precise view of the rural infrastructure in Columbus County during the early 21st century.
