About this map

The Pee Dee River winds through the borderlands of Anson and Richmond counties, serving as a defining corridor for local commerce and transport. This landscape is characterized by its numerous small creek drainages, such as Savannah Creek and Turkey Creek, which flow toward the river from the prominent Ingram Mountain. Small rural centers like Mangum and Ingram anchor the area, connected by historic routes like Old Stanback Road.

Evidence of early river crossings is preserved through labels for Old Smith Ferry and Old Stanback Ferry, marking points of historical transit before modern bridging. The social fabric of the community is clearly visible through a high density of country churches and family-named cemeteries, including Hebron Ch, Olivet Ch, and the Ingram Sch Cem. To the south, the river widens into Blewett Falls Lake, bordered by the Pee Dee River State Game Land, reflecting a transition from agricultural use to modern conservation and power generation.
