About this map

The Pee Dee River and Little Pee Dee River dominate this Lowcountry landscape, winding through a complex network of swamps and islands during the early 1940s. The convergence of Horry Co, Marion Co, and Georgetown Co occurs amidst a terrain of cypress-shrouded waterways like Russ Creek and Conch Creek. Notable for its agricultural and timber history, the map depicts the Lucas Bay Plantation and the remnants of industrial transport via the Old Tram Road.

Social centers are anchored by local institutions such as Gravel Gully School and a collection of country churches including St Joseph Ch, Trinity Ch, and the Yauhannah Church and Cem. The era's strategic footprint is visible through the USA Bombing Range Limits and the Yauhannah Forest Fire Tower. Smaller settlements like Petersfield and Rice Crossroads dot the higher ground of High Hill, connected by the Yauhannah Bridge and a network of named logging and plantation roads.
