About this map

Tabernacle and Friendship serve as the primary focal points of this Marion County landscape, where the coastal plain is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and creeks. The drainage patterns are significant, with Catfish Creek and Mink Creek winding through the terrain toward larger basins like Bull Swamp and Jones Swamp. These water systems create distinct land features such as Dickerson Island and Wahee Neck, which have historically shaped the settlement patterns of the region.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Wahee Cemetery, Kirton Cemetery, and Ford Cemetery. The land is also marked by unique geological features like Terrell Bay, a classic Carolina Bay, and various ponds such as Rye Ridge Pond and Ten Acre Pond. This 2011 survey documents the rural character of the area just before the continued modernization of the Hwy 9 corridor, preserving the locations of names tied to the local heritage of the Pee Dee region.
