About this map

The city of Dillon serves as the hub of this 2017 study, where the urban grid gives way to a complex landscape of wetlands and crossroads settlements. The eastern reaches of the county are defined by an intricate network of Carolina bays and swamps, including Bear Swamp, Roundabout Swamp, and Cowan Swamp, which have historically shaped the drainage and agriculture of the region. This terrain is dotted with several family and community landmarks, such as Bronson Crossroads and Oliver Crossroads, highlighting the enduring rural social structure.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites and rural congregations across the landscape, ranging from the Kentyre Presbyterian Church Cem in the north to the Saint Marys Cem near the river. Significant water features like the Little Pee Dee River and the high ground at Moccasin Bluff provide geographic context to the development of nearby Hamer and the industrial activity indicated by the Gravel Pit Pt south of the city.
