About this map

Britton Neck and the winding Pee Dee River define this coastal plain landscape during the early 1940s. The region is characterized by a dense network of crossroads and small settlements, including Outland, Williams Hill, and Pleasant Hill, which served as local hubs before modern highway expansion. The map details a landscape transition from the swampy bottomlands of Boser Swamp and Bells Swamp to the higher ground of Sand Ridge.

Genealogists will find significant value in the location of rural congregations such as Jerusalem Ch, Pee Dee Ch, and Good Hope Ch, alongside the Hucks Field Cem. The southern portion of the quadrangle is notably occupied by a U S Army Reservation near Carvers Bay, reflecting the military footprint in South Carolina during the war years. River access points like Pole Flat Landing and Port Hill highlight the historical importance of the river for transport and local commerce.
