About this map

The Great Pee Dee River and Waccamaw River dominate this coastal landscape, shaping the boundaries of Sandy Island and the surrounding lowlands. The 2017 survey details the historic community of Plantersville and several nearby settlements including Saint Pauls, Gilliard, and Jackson. These hamlets are connected by a network of local roads such as N Fraser St and Ford Village RD, which reflect a centuries-old settlement pattern rooted in the river-based economy of Georgetown County.

Along the eastern edge, the Intracoastal Waterway runs parallel to the rivers, cutting through a complex system of creeks like Thoroughfare Creek and Cooter Creek. Further inland, the map identifies distinctive terrain features such as Carvers Bay and Joe Bay. The transition from riverfront settlements like Belin and Mount Rena to the swampy interior highlights the region's enduring relationship with its water systems.
