About this map

The Edisto River snakes along the southwestern boundary of this Lowcountry landscape, defining the border between Dorchester and Colleton counties. This region is characterized by a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research. Named cemeteries such as Magnolia Cem, Beulah Cem, and the remote Old Miss Cem are scattered across the terrain, often near small drainages like Brickhouse Br or Cattle Cr.

Settlement is anchored by the town of Reevesville and the smaller communities of Sugar Hill and Dorange, all situated along the Us-78 corridor. The map details a complex network of wetlands and seasonal watercourses, including Polk Swamp and Cowtail Cr, which have historically influenced the placement of roads and homesteads. Local landmarks like the Cat Hole on the river and numerous named farm roads offer a granular view of rural land use in the early twenty-first century.
