About this map

The Black River defines the southern reach of this Georgetown County landscape, where the river's winding course creates a complex network of wetlands and tributaries. Small settlements like Dunbar and Allentown are linked by a grid of rural roads, including Carvers Bay Rd and Choppee Rd, which navigate the low-lying terrain. The map highlights distinctive geological formations known as Carolina Bays, notably Carvers Bay and Machine Bay, which appear as elliptical depressions amidst the forest and swamp.

Drainage throughout the quadrangle is dictated by numerous named waterways such as Choppee Creek, Stony Run Creek, and Boheek Creek. The riverfront at Rocky Point and Belleflower Point suggests the historical importance of the water for transport and local industry. This modern survey provides a detailed look at the interface between the coastal plain's natural hydrology and the established communities of Indian Creek Village and Rocky Point.
