2011 Map of Pinewood

About this map

Pinewood and its surrounding wetlands define this landscape near the northern reaches of Lake Marion. The town serves as a central hub for the area's rural road network, which includes historic routes like Milford Plantation Rd and Bacon Hill Rd. The terrain is characterized by an extensive system of branches and swamps, most notably Sammy Swamp and Hungary Hall Branch, which feed into various millponds and dammed reservoirs. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on this sheet, including Calvary Cemetery, Richardson Cemetery, and Brown Cemetery. The map documents a quiet period of agricultural and residential continuity, where local industry is reflected in features like Elliott Millpond and Curtis Millpond. Near the southern edge, the settlement of Panola sits at the junction of several drainage systems, including Belser Creek and Chapel Creek.
