About this map

Witherspoon Island sits at the heart of this landscape, defined by the winding course of the Great Pee Dee River and its associated wetlands. The terrain is a complex network of oxbow lakes and secondary waterways, including Lowthers Lake, Rogers Lake, and the expansive Back Swamp. This 2011 survey captures the area as Interstate 95 cuts through the southern reaches, bringing modern infrastructure to a region traditionally dominated by riverine geography and small landforms like Byrds Island and Cashua Neck.

Residential development is concentrated at Wachovia Hills near the center of the quadrangle, while much of the surrounding land is managed for water resources. Numerous engineered features are present, such as the Lanford Pond Dam D-3559 and several unnamed water control structures. The intersection of local routes like Georgetown Rd and newer highways illustrates the transition from a river-oriented economy to a modern transportation corridor.
