About this map

The Great Pee Dee River meanders through the heart of this Pee Dee region landscape, carving out dramatic oxbows and islands including Witherspoon Island and Byrds Island. These alluvial formations are surrounded by a dense network of water bodies and wetlands, most notably the expansive Back Swamp and several distinct lakes such as Lowthers Lake and Lake Redwing. The topography is defined by these fluvial processes, visible in the high ground of Cashua Neck and the elevation of Wachovia Bluff.

Residential growth is concentrated in Wachovia Hills, situated near Wachovia Hills Lake. The area's transportation history is anchored by Cashua Ferry Rd, a name that points to the long-standing importance of river crossings in the Lowcountry. Modern infrastructure like Interstate 95 now intersects this older network, passing near Lanford Pond and the I 95 Rest Area Lagoon, bridging the gap between historical river commerce and contemporary logistics.
