About this map

Mars Bluff serves as a central focal point where the modern crossing of the Great Pee Dee River meets the historical landscape of the coastal plain. This 2017 survey details a region defined by its complex hydrologic network, including the expansive Great Pee Dee River Swamp and numerous smaller tributaries like Muddy Gut and Bachelor Cr. The settlement pattern reflects long-standing rural communities such as Winona, Jamestown, and Blue Brick, often situated along older routes like the E Old Marion Hwy.

Genealogical interest is found at the Moody Cem near Jamestown, while the industrial and commercial footprint of the era is evidenced by features like the Pepsi Cola Lake and the Mars Bluff Bridge. The map effectively captures the intersection of three counties—Dillon, Florence, and Marion—where the river traditionally served as both a barrier and a primary artery for the region's development.
