About this map

The Black River meanders through the heart of Georgetown County, defining a landscape shaped by tidal creeks and riverine landings. This 2011 survey captures the proximity of small settlements like Dunbar and Annieville to the water, where Dunbar Landing and Post Foot Landing once served as vital connectivity points. The interior is a dense network of drainages, including Choppee Creek, Guinea Creek, and Fardick Creek, which feed into the main river channel.

Transportation corridors like Plantersville Rd and Choppee Rd bridge the gaps between the timberlands and these historical riverside communities. The southern portion of the map near Lanes Creek reveals the transition into the Black Swamp, highlighting the environmental constraints that influenced the dispersed settlement patterns of Carvers Bay and the surrounding reaches. Significant hydrological management is noted through features like the Black River House One Pond Dam, reflecting modern water control alongside historical landings.
