About this map

The Great Pee Dee River dictates the landscape of this wartime survey, carving a complex path through the South Carolina lowcountry. Large landforms like Byrds Island and Witherspoon Island sit within the river’s reach, highlighting a terrain defined by swamps and drainage canals. The human footprint is recorded through a high density of rural institutions, such as Hunts Bluff School and the Lower Marlboro High School, which served the scattered farming communities during the early 1940s.
