About this map

The Little Pee Dee River dominates this portion of Marion County, winding through a complex network of wetlands, islands, and backwater lakes. The river's historical importance as a transportation corridor is evidenced by numerous named landings, including Peters Ferry Landing, Dog Bluff Landing, and White Oak Landing, which point to a time when waterborne transit was vital for the surrounding community. On the higher ground west of the river, the settlement of Brittons Neck and the Gresham Post Office serve as focal points for local navigation and community identity.

Local roads such as Martin Luther King Jr Dr and Paul Richardson Rd provide access to the rural interior, while the landscape remains defined by its hydrography. Named water bodies like Johnson Big Lake, Palmer Lake, and Newfound Lake are scattered throughout the river basin, interspersed with landforms like Big Cane Island and Indigo Island. The presence of Red Hill in the northeast corner and the winding course of Alligator Run further emphasize the transition between the river's floodplains and the more settled upland areas.
