About this map

The Canoochee River defines the lower southwestern corner of this coastal plain landscape, winding through a dense network of wetlands and namesake bays. This area is characterized by these unique Carolina bay depressions, including Alligator Bay, Boggy Head Bay, and Cypress Bay, which dictate the local topography and drainage patterns. The small settlement of Letford sits centrally, while a portion of Pembroke occupies the northwestern corner.

Tracing the movement of people and industry across the terrain reveals an Old Railroad Bed cutting a straight diagonal path through the wetlands, a remnant of former timber or transit routes. Genealogists will find the Little Creek Cem and Corinth Cem located near these drainage basins. Large landforms like Hilliard Island emerge from the surrounding swampy ground, illustrating the complex hydrography between Savage Cr and the larger river system.
