About this map

The Great Pee Dee River and Lynches River converge in this low-lying riverine landscape, defining a complex network of backwaters and named sloughs. At the heart of this junction lies Snow Island, a significant landform surrounded by Clark Creek and the main river channel. The map reveals a high density of oxbow lakes and swamps, including Scott Lake, Johnson Lake, and Soccee Swamp, illustrating the shifting hydrology of the coastal plain.

Settlement is sparse and mostly concentrated along the periphery, with Cane Bay appearing in the southwest near the Pine Bluff Cem. The northeastern corner is crossed by the Potatoe Bed Ferry Bridge, a notable crossing point over the Little Pee Dee River. This survey captures the intricate boundaries where Florence, Marion, Williamsburg, Horry, and Georgetown Counties meet, anchored by landmarks like Dunham Bluff and Bottle Point.
