About this map

Center Crossroads and a dense network of similar intersections define this pocket of the Lowcountry, where the Georgetown County and Marion County line follows the winding course of the Great Pee Dee River. The landscape is characterized by its hydrologic complexity, featuring expansive wetlands like Boser Swamp, Pennyroyal Swamp, and Soccee Swamp. These blackwater systems are interspersed with distinct landforms such as Britton Neck and Squirrel Run Bay, while family-named landmarks like Williams Hill and Sand Ridge rise above the alluvial plains.

Local history is anchored by rural communities and river access points, including Port Hill Landing and Allentown. For genealogists, the map identifies specific burial sites like Jerusalem Cem and Hucks Field Cem, providing exact locations for ancestral research. The intricate web of local routes, such as Choppee Rd and Folly Grove Rd, connects the various crossroads that historically served as the primary social and economic hubs for this agrarian region.
