1947 Map of Centenary
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The Little Pee Dee River forms a complex boundary between Marion and Horry Counties, defining a landscape of cypress swamps and sandy ridges. In this 1946 survey, the Seaboard Air Line railroad anchors the local economy, connecting the settlements of Centenary and Rains. The presence of Smith Mill Pond and Leggett Mill Pond suggests a history of localized water-powered industry, while family-named landmarks like Palmer Cem and schools such as Beauty Spot Sch point to established rural communities. To the east, the river breaks into a maze of oxbows and islands, including Knife Island and Little Pee Dee Islands, with remote access points like Davis Landing and Cartwheel Landing serving as vital links to the water for residents of the surrounding timber and farm lands.
