About this map

Great Pee Dee River defines the western edge of this Marlboro County landscape, carving a serpentine path past Hunts Bluff and Culps Neck. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies, including Drakes Millpond, Dailys Pond, and Poston Pond, reflecting the low-lying geography of the Coastal Plain. These waters gather into Three Creeks, which dominates the central marshlands east of the river.

Small rural settlements such as Drake and Genoa are connected by a web of local roads, including Nolan Rd and Poston Farm Rd. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies the Parnassus Graveyard near the northern boundary and Brownsville Cem to the east. These landmarks, alongside features like Byrds Island and Mossy Bay, provide specific points of reference for understanding the historic land use and community structure in this riverfront region.
