1972 Map of Bingham

About this map

Bingham serves as a focal point in this rural landscape at the border of Marlboro and Dillon Counties. The area is characterized by distinct elliptical depressions known as bays, including the large Hilson Bay, Indigo Bay, and the water-filled Catfish Bay. This specialized terrain dictates the local drainage, where Catfish Canal and Reedy Creek navigate the low-lying wetlands. The settlement pattern follows the high ground between these features, connecting Blenheim in the north to Brownsville and Mallory in the south.
