The Francis Marion National Forest dominates this Lowcountry landscape, where the dense hydrology of the coastal plain is revealed through a network of swamps and distinctive "islands" rising above the wetlands. Settlement is concentrated along the eastern edge near Shulerville and Simmonsville, featuring the New Hope Cem as a focal point for local history. The map illustrates a complex system of named bays and openings, such as Hellhole Bay, Little Hellhole Bay, and The Big Opening, which dictate the winding paths of roads like Hellhole Rd and French Santee Rd. Recreational uses of the forest are evident through the Wambaw Cycle Trail and Jericho Horse Trail, which navigate through the interior terrain and past landmarks like Yellowjacket Island and Peterstand Island.
