About this map

Bull Swamp and the winding reaches of Catfish Creek define the low-lying geography of this Marion County landscape. The small rural settlements of Tabernacle and Friendship serve as local anchors, connected by a network of named country roads and loops. This 2014 survey captures a terrain dominated by hydrologic features, including Upper Ford Lake, Baker Lake, and the long channel of Mink Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community landmarks, such as Wahee Cem, Kirton Cem, and Ford Cem. Distinctive landforms like Wahee Neck, Big Island, and Mose Islands indicate the complex drainage patterns of the Pee Dee region. The presence of Millrace Drain suggests historical water-management or industrial activity along the waterways, while named terrain features like Heaven Hill and Dickerson Island provide specific coordinates for tracking family landholdings and historical property boundaries.
