About this map

Center Crossroads and a dense network of rural junctions define the interior of this coastal plain landscape at the edge of Georgetown Co. The terrain is characterized by an intricate hydrology where names like Pennyroyal Swamp, Soccee Swamp, and Bose Swamp indicate the low-lying, water-saturated nature of the region. These wetlands are drained by numerous small watercourses such as Flat Swamp Run and Pittman Br, eventually flowing toward the Great Pee Dee River which curves along the northeastern boundary near Britton Neck.

Local history is preserved in several family-named landmarks and small settlements, including Jerusalem Cem in the north and Allentown to the south. The prevalence of crossroads communities, from Huggins Crossroads to Cribb Crossroads, suggests a long-standing settlement pattern organized around these vital transportation nodes rather than centralized town squares. The map also highlights distinctive landforms such as Squirrel Run Bay and Tupelo Bay, which are characteristic of the unique geological depressions found throughout this part of South Carolina.
