2017 Map of Clio

About this map

The town of Clio serves as the central hub for this corner of Marlboro County, situated within a landscape defined by an intricate network of Carolina bays and swampy prongs. These distinctive elliptical depressions, such as McLaurin Bay and Burnt Bay, shape the local drainage patterns and road layouts, often flanking the agricultural fields that dominate the region. To the east, the settlement of Red Bluff sits near the shores of Red Bluff Lake, while the smaller community of Dunbar and the crossroads at Five Forks anchor the southern and western portions of the quadrangle. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies several rural burial sites, including Quick Cemetery, Hebron Cemetery, and Ebenezer Cemetery. The agricultural economy is further evidenced by the Clio Crop Care Airport, reflecting the ongoing importance of crop dusting in the South Carolina Coastal Plain.
