2017 Map of Centenary

About this map

Little Pee Dee River and its labyrinthine wetlands dominate this part of the coastal plain, where the border between Marion Co and Horry Co follows the shifting water. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of oxbows and swamp lakes, including Liza Lake, Barnett Lake, and Elvis Lake. Agricultural and timber legacies are evident in the naming of local landmarks like Smith Mill Pond and Leggett Mill Pond, while the upland areas support the small crossroads communities of Rains, Centenary, and Ariel Cross Road. Genealogists will find several small burial grounds documented, such as Olivet Cem and Palmer Cem, often situated near the family-named roads that crisscross the sandy ridges and bays.
