2017 Map of Yauhannah

About this map

Yauhannah and the confluence of the Great Pee Dee River and Little Pee Dee River define this lowcountry landscape at the border of Georgetown, Horry, and Marion Counties. The terrain is characterized by intricate river systems and expansive wetland tracts like Little Pee Dee Swamp and Cowford Swamp, where local geography is marked by family-named landmarks and historical crossings. Transport through these bottomlands relies on key points such as Yauhannah Bridge and Bradley Bridge, while settlements like Gilbert Crossroads and Rice Crossroads anchor the higher ground. Genealogists can locate the Yauhannah Cem and trace old family landholdings near Larrimore Gully or Petersfield. The map reveals a deeply hydrologic economy where features like Hell Gate and Bull Island emphasize the complexity of the river navigation and the winding course of Conch Creek.
