2014 Map of Society Hill

About this map

Society Hill and the surrounding river lowlands serve as the focal point for this survey, where the winding Great Pee Dee River defines the boundaries between Darlington, Marlboro, and Chesterfield counties. This landscape is steeped in local history, marked by the Welch Neck Memorial Bridge and the significant Welsh Neck Cem. The terrain is characterized by numerous water bodies and wetlands, including Mares Lake, Cash Lake, and the expansive Cash Swamp. Historical land markers such as Kolbs Tomb and the riverside Plumfield Landing offer specific points of interest for genealogists and researchers tracking the settlement patterns of this South Carolina river region. Small communities and named heights like Dyers Hill and Gardners Bluff sit above the floodplains, connected by a network of rural routes such as Egypt Mill Rd and Marlboro Rd.
