About this map

Pee Dee River and Little Pee Dee River converge in a complex network of wetlands and islands at the junction of Georgetown, Marion, and Horry counties. The landscape is defined by vast designated areas like Carvers Bay No 6 and Pee Dee and Choppee No 5, where the river creates natural boundaries and landmarks such as Big Island and Hell Gate. This mid-century survey reveals a rural society centered on river crossings and timber, evidenced by the Wooden Trestle and the Old Tram Road cutting through the Pee Dee Swamp.

Local life is anchored at Yauhannah, where the Yauhannah Forest Fire Tower stands near multiple houses of worship, including Rockingham Ch and Yauhannah Church and Cem. To the north, Gilbert Crossroads and Petersfield serve as small hubs, with Gravel Gully School providing education for the surrounding communities. The inclusion of Lucas Bay Plantation and the Bombing Range Limits reflects the varied land use of the era, from traditional estates to military training grounds.
