2020 Map of Brittons Neck

About this map

Brittons Neck sits at the heart of a complex fluvial landscape where the Little Pee Dee River meanders through an intricate network of cypress swamps and isolated islands. The river's winding course creates a series of oxbows and named water bodies such as Cypress Creek Lake, Newfound Lake, and Johnson Big Lake. The geography is defined by a succession of interior islands, including Patsy Island, Gunter Island, and Indigo Island, which suggest a history of seasonal flooding and changing water levels. Along the riverbanks, prominent features like Upper Dog Bluff and Lower Dog Bluff provide rare points of elevation above the surrounding Big Swamp and Brunson Swamp. The road network, featuring names like Tobacco Bed Rd and Alligator Rd, reflects the local agricultural and timber-based economy of this Marion and Horry County borderland.
