2017 Map of Latta

About this map

Latta serves as the central hub of this Pee Dee region landscape, where the CSX rail line intersects the street grid near the residential community of Forrest Hills. The area is defined by a distinct Carolina Bay topography, evidenced by the large, oval depressions of Pigeon Bay and Ellerbe Bay that influence local drainage and road patterns. Beyond the primary settlements of Sellers and Temperance Hill, the map reveals a dense network of family and community burial grounds, including the Catfish Creek Baptist Church Cem and Magnolia Cem. This distribution of cemeteries and small rural junctions like Bass Crossroads and Berrys Crossroads provides a detailed look at the historic settlement patterns of Dillon and Marion counties. The hydrological character of the land is further established by Catfish Swamp and meandering tributaries such as Little Reedy Cr and Boggy Branch.
