About this map

The city of Dillon serves as the focal point for this survey, showing the town's expansion toward the Little Pee Dee River and the concentration of civic life at the Gordon High Sch and South Dillon Sch. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad dictates the corridor of growth, passing through Hamer and past numerous storage bins, signaling the region's agricultural economy.

Beyond the urban center, the landscape is defined by the unique Carolina Bay formations, such as Lilly Bay, Manning Bay, and Sand Ridge Bay, which create a complex drainage pattern through Bear Swamp and Roundabout Swamp. Local family names and rural communities are preserved through numerous landmarks like Bronson Crossroads, Stewarts Crossroads, and Gaddys Crossroads, alongside various country churches including Bethel Ch and St Matthews Ch.
