2017 Map of Outland

About this map

Great Pee Dee River winding through the eastern wetlands of Georgetown and Marion counties characterizes this coastal plain landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of water bodies and low-lying reaches, including Pennyroyal Swamp, Bells Swamp, and Boser Swamp. Settlement patterns here are tied to the higher ground of various hills and the intersection of rural roads, creating a cluster of localized communities such as Outland, Port Hill, and Williams Hill. The numerous crossroads, from Center Crossroads to Cribb Crossroads, suggest a historic reliance on overland travel between these small agricultural and riverine outposts. Genealogists may find value in the location of Jerusalem Cem near the Williamsburg County line or Hucks Field Cem in the southeastern quadrant near Tupelo Bay.
