2020 Map of Carvers Bay

About this map

The Black River dominates the southwestern portion of this Georgetown County landscape, where tidal influences and wetland ecosystems meet established settlements. The community of Dunbar sits near the riverbanks, joined by nearby Rocky Point and Belleflower Point as historical landing spots or points of interest along the water. Further inland, the terrain is characterized by the distinctive oval depressions of Carolina bays, most notably Carvers Bay and Machine Bay. These geological features, often filled with dense vegetation, create a unique drainage pattern seen in the many small tributaries like Choppee Creek and Post Foot Br. The map also reveals a network of local roads such as Choppee Rd and Bombing Range Rd, connecting the northern hamlet of Allentown to the river corridor, illustrating how the region's geography dictated its transportation and settlement patterns.
