About this map

Great Pee Dee River and the Waccamaw River Intracoastal Waterway define the hydraulic landscape of this Lowcountry region in Georgetown County. The area is characterized by vast wetland systems, including Carvers Bay and the extensive marshlands surrounding Sandy Island. These waterways provided the historic framework for the local economy, long shaped by river transport and rice cultivation.

Settlement patterns are concentrated along the primary roads west of the river, where several historic communities are established. Plantersville sits near the junction of several local routes, while Saint Pauls, Gilliard, and Jackson form a corridor of residential activity. To the southeast, near the confluence of Thoroughfare Creek and the main river channel, the communities of Belin and Mount Rena occupy slightly higher ground amidst a network of smaller streams like Chapel Creek and Cypress Creek.
