About this map

Dillon and its surrounding agricultural communities sit at a critical crossroads near the North Carolina and South Carolina border. This survey documents the transition from the concentrated grid of the city, including Newtown and Riverdale, to the dispersed rural hamlets that define the county's landscape. The settlement pattern is anchored by historic religious and family sites, such as Kentyre Presbyterian Church Cem and Stewart Crossroads.

Hydrological features like the Little Pee Dee River and its associated wetlands, including Hayes Swamp and Contrary Swamp, heavily influence the local geography and road placement. Evidence of the region's industrial and logistical infrastructure is found in the Dillon County Airport and the Gravel Pit near Maple Swamp. This map provides a detailed record of the numerous family cemeteries, such as Ayres Cem and Culbreth Cem, that are essential for tracing the lineage of local families in this part of the Pee Dee region.
