About this map

Marston and Cognac sit along the northwestern edge of this landscape, where the sandy hills of the Sandhills region meet a complex network of blackwater streams and Carolina bays. The terrain is defined by an intricate drainage system including Gum Swamp Cr and Hitchcock Cr, which feed into numerous named water bodies such as Scotland Lake and Kinney Cameron Lake. The boundary between Richmond Co and Scotland Co bisects the area, following natural watercourses like Gum Swamp Cr through the low-lying wetlands.

Genealogists will find interest in localized markers such as Livingston Cem near the southern border and Watson Cem to the east. The map detail highlights a transition from the upland ridges traversed by Hoffman Rd and Marston Rd to the dense thickets surrounding Gum Swamp Lake and Catawba Lake. This 2016 survey documents the enduring rural character and specialized hydrology of this section of the inner coastal plain.
