The location of St. John's Church Cemetery and the church there has been lost. It was located 32 miles southeast of Orangeburg, off Five Chop Road. It existed for many years as the only church in the isolated South Carolina backcountry as a Calvinistic Lutheran Church, founded in the mid 1700s and surviving until the late 1790s.

The area is named for nearby Four Hole Swamp. The swamp is the home of the Francis Beidler Forest, a 18,000-acre nature preserve owned by the National Audubon Society containing over 1,800 acres of virgin timber, including cypress and trees up to 1,500 years old.
