The lowlands of the South River and Black River converge in this corner of North Carolina, creating an intricate network of Carolina bays and swampy depressions. Small settlements like Rowan and Reedy Crossway occupy the slightly higher ground between expansive wetland features such as Big Bay, Dismal Bay, and Tussock Bay. The landscape is heavily marked by local family history, evidenced by a high density of small burial grounds including Salem Cem, Sellars Cem, and Pridgen Cem that dot the wooded fringes of the wetlands.
