2020 Map of Pamplico North

About this map

Pamplico stands at the southern edge of this landscape, where the coastal plain of South Carolina meets the complex hydrology of the Great Pee Dee River valley. The terrain is defined by a series of distinct bays and swamp systems, including the large Horse Bay and the drainage of Jeffries Creek. This 2020 survey reveals a rural settlement pattern anchored by historic junctions such as Kennedy Crossroads and Gibbs Crossroads, which reflect long-standing family and community hubs in Florence County. The eastern boundary is dominated by the meandering river and its associated lowlands, including Beverly Swamp and Pitch Pot Swamp. Genealogists may find value in the placement of small community burial grounds like Gibbs Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem, while the network of named roads like Old River Rd and Grant Rd traces the historical movement of goods and people through this timber and agricultural region.
