About this map

Bay Tree Lake and its distinctive carolina bay geography dominate this coastal plain landscape. The terrain is characterized by numerous elliptical depressions such as Cotton Patch Bay, Marshall Bay, and Chingiapin Bay, which influence the local drainage patterns of Colly Cr and Little Colly Cr. This 2019 survey documents a rural environment where land use is closely tied to the wetland systems, including Johns Swamp and Kerr Marsh near the South River boundary.

Local history is preserved through scattered rural hubs like Hickory-Grove Crossroads and Smith Crossroads. Family lineages are grounded in the numerous small burial grounds found throughout the area, including Sand Hill Cem, Norris Cem, and the Marshburn Cemeteries. The settlement of White Lake occupies the southwestern corner, showing the intersection of established community roads like Wade Smith Rd and Beards Chapel Loop Rd with the surrounding pocosin and forest land.
