2017 Map of Oak Grove

About this map

The community of Oak Grove sits at the northern edge of a landscape defined by the winding waters of the Great Pee Dee River and its dense network of tributaries. The terrain is dominated by low-lying wetlands and swamps, including the expansive Pocosin Swamp, Gum Swamp, and Catfish Bay. This 2017 survey reveals how modern transportation corridors, such as the highway bisecting the region, intersect with long-standing rural landmarks. Local history is anchored by several sites of genealogical interest, such as the Bethesda Southern Methodist Church Cem, Saint George Cem, and Haselden Cem. The presence of Schoolhouse Br suggests the legacy of early rural education centers near the river. Water remains the primary geographical driver, with Black Creek and Brownsville Cr carving through the wooded terrain near the tri-county junction where Dillon, Florence, and Marlboro counties meet.
