About this map

The Little Pee Dee River defines the western boundary of this South Carolina landscape, meandering through a complex network of wetlands and riverine features. Notable island and bend names like Bear Knot Island, Devils Elbow, and Pee Dee Island indicate the shifting nature of the river's course over time. The eastern banks are marked by historically significant points of river access including Cartwheel Landing, Polecat Landing, and the namesake Galivants Ferry.

Inland, the terrain rises into the Half Moon Sand Hills and Long Sand Ridge, where agricultural settlements and crossroads like Ketchuptown and McQueen Crossroads anchor the rural community. Genealogists can trace family names through landmarks such as Gerald Cem and Gerald Lake, while water bodies like Graham Mill Pond and Howles Big Pond suggest the traditional water-management patterns of the region. The town of Aynor serves as a principal hub in the southern portion of the sheet, connected by a network of state and local routes.
