About this map

The Great Pee Dee River defines the landscape of this region, winding through a complex system of bottomlands and backwaters along the Marion Co Florence Co line. This 2017 survey details the rural crossroads of Gresham, Kingsburg, and Poston, where agricultural life meets the dense networks of Bull Swamp and Cane Swamp. The presence of Godfrey Ferry Bridge marks a critical historical crossing point over the river, connecting the isolated riverine settlements to the broader county infrastructure.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by features like St Mark Cemetery Rd and the family-named roads including Allison Landing Rd and Furches Rd. The terrain is characterized by numerous small bodies of water such as Sara Lake, Shackleford Lake, and Graves Lake, reflecting the hydrological character of the South Carolina lowcountry. Distinctive local landmarks like Deadman Curve Curve Rd and Old Tram Rd hint at the area's timber and transportation history.
