2017 Map of Scranton

About this map

Lynches River winds through the eastern portion of this landscape, defining a terrain characterized by numerous elliptical depressions known as Carolina Bays, such as Sugarfoot Bay, Cockfield Bay, and Nettles Bay. These geographic features dictate the drainage patterns and road placements between the settlements of Scranton and Coward. The area is densely dotted with family and community burial sites, including Old Liberty Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Creel Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. In the southern reach, the northern edge of Lake City is visible, while the Cockfield Aerodrome and crossings like Anderson Bridge and Bass Bridge highlight the infrastructure connecting these rural communities. The map reflects a classic coastal plain environment where agriculture and natural wetlands exist in close proximity.
