About this map

Yauhannah and its surrounding Lowcountry riverine landscape are defined by the convergence of the Great Pee Dee River and the Little Pee Dee River in this 2011 survey. The settlement patterns follow the winding waterways and ancient swamp margins, with small communities like Rice Crossroads, Gilbert Crossroads, and Petersfield established at key road junctions. Historic river access is marked by Sanders Landing and Parker Landing, while the modern transportation network crosses the water at Yauhannah Bridge.

Beyond the residential areas, the map reveals a terrain of bays and gullies, such as Lucas Bay and Larrimore Gully. The local infrastructure includes the Yauhannah Forest Fire Tower and the Yauhannah Cemetery, providing essential landmarks for genealogists and local historians. To the southeast, the complex network of creeks and backwaters leads to provocatively named features like Hell Gate and the broad expanse of Cowford Swamp, illustrating the intricate drainage systems typical of the South Carolina coastal plain.
