2017 Map of Reevesville

About this map

The Edisto River meanders through the southern portion of this landscape, defining the border between Dorchester and Colleton Counties. To the north, the town of Reevesville serves as a local hub near the Polk Swamp, while the small settlement of Dorange sits at the intersection of Dorange Rd and Rigby Rd. This area of the South Carolina Lowcountry is characterized by its extensive network of watercourses and wetlands, including Cattle Cr, Cowtail Cr, and Bear Br. Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites, such as the Magnolia Cem, Thompson Cem, and the uniquely named Old Miss Cem. The map illustrates a rural economy organized around these waterways and an intricate grid of county roads that connect isolated farmsteads and historic church communities.
