2011 Map of Minturn

About this map

The Little Pee Dee River and the extensive wetlands of Sweat Swamp dominate this rural landscape on the South Carolina and North Carolina border. Small farming settlements and crossroads such as Minturn, Carolina, and Sinclair Crossroads are connected by a network of local roads often named for resident families, such as Jack McIntyre Rd and D J McLaurin Rd. Historically significant sites like the Carolina Presbyterian Church Cemetery and Fairview Church Cemetery point to the deep-rooted community foundations in this area. Movement across the river and its numerous tributaries, including Martins Branch and Carolina Branch, is facilitated by local landmarks like McInnis Bridge and McKays Bridge. The map also documents modern water management features like the Hamer Pond Dam D-3595, illustrating the ongoing interaction between the local population and the low-lying terrain of the coastal plain.
