2024 Map of Shulerville

About this map

Hell Hole Bay Wilderness dominates this portion of the Francis Marion National Forest, showcasing a landscape defined by Carolina bays and intricate wetland systems. The area around Shulerville and Simmonsville is characterized by its "islands"—slightly elevated terrain such as Yellowjacket Island, Barnett Island, and Horse Island—which rise above the surrounding Darlington Swamp and smaller pocosin-like features. A network of Forest Service roads, including Hell Hole Road A and Farewell Corner Rd, provides the primary access through these dense lowlands. Genealogists and local historians can locate the New Hope Cem near Shulerville and trace the historical distribution of settlements like Dawson Ridge along the edges of the Hellhole Bay basin. The map also records the boundary between Berkeley and Charleston counties as it cuts through the southern reaches near Bark Island.
