About this map

Lynches River meanders across this landscape on the border of Florence and Williamsburg counties, defining a region characterized by extensive wetlands and scattered rural junctions. The topography is dominated by large drainage systems including Big Swamp and Boggy Swamp, which feed into the primary river corridor. Small water bodies like Eaddy Big Lake and Spring Lake are tucked into the lowland areas near Macs Bay.

Human settlement follows the higher ground between these drainages, marked by distinctive local hubs such as Prospect Crossroads, Midway Crossroads, and Bartell Crossroads. The map records the rural character of the late twentieth century, showing a network of unimproved roads and small settlements like Leo. Numerous small Cem locations are noted throughout the quadrangle, providing valuable points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing family landholdings near Deep Creek and the surrounding timberlands.
