About this map

Clio serves as the central hub of this 1970s survey, situated along the Seaboard Coast Line railroad near the border of Marlboro and Dillon counties. The landscape is defined by its numerous small rural churches and family-named cemeteries, which provide significant genealogical clues for the region. Notable landmarks include Trinity Ch, Mt Tabor Ch, and the Old Clio Ch cemetery located just south of the main settlement.

The physical geography is marked by bay-like depressions and slow-moving water systems, such as Sandy Ocean, Juniper Bay, and Burnt Bay. To the east, the terrain transitions into the swampy bottomlands of the Little Pee Dee R and Gum Swamp, where Red Bluff Lake sits as a prominent water feature. This era shows a mix of traditional agricultural land use, evidenced by the scattered crossroads of Five Forks and Dunbar, alongside modern developments like a local Golf Course and a dedicated Landing Strip.
