2011 Map of Nichols

About this map

The Little Pee Dee River and Lumber River converge in this corner of Marion County, shaping a landscape defined by expansive swamplands and sand ridges. The town of Nichols serves as a primary hub, while the edge of Mullins appears to the west. This riverine economy is evidenced by historic river crossings and transit points like Stave Landing, Grice Ferry, and Pitch Landing. Higher ground is marked by distinctive formations such as the Big Sand Hills and Bear Sand Ridges. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies several burial grounds including Old Field Cemetery, Clay Hill Cemetery, and the Old State Cemetery. Notable water features such as Pitch Lake, Widow Lake, and Huggins Lake dot the wetlands, while the Sandy Bluff Bridge provides a vital link across the Little Pee Dee near Lewis Island.
