2017 Map of Georgetown North

About this map

Georgetown serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, situated at the confluence of the Black River and the Great Pee Dee River. The river-bound geography is defined by a network of creeks and swamps, including Sixmile Creek and Horse Swamp, which transition into the sprawling marshlands of the Intracoastal Waterway. Smaller settlements such as Kensington, Rosemont, and Oatland reflect the historic residential patterns of the area, while names like Ramsey Grove and Campfield hint at the large landholdings and estates common to the lowcountry. The map also reveals curious local nomenclature in the terrain, such as Devils Dining Room and Camp Bay, suggesting a deep-rooted folk history tied to the specific topography of these wetlands and forests. For researchers, the detailed street grid of the northern sections of the town and the rural connectors like Browns Ferry Rd provide a clear view of how modern transportation overlays the ancient water routes of the region.
