Geographic context
The Great Pee Dee River is the geographic frame for the older landing history connected to Poston. Family and place-history materials repeatedly situate the locality in the Pee Dee river landscape before and during the transition to railroad transportation.
Archive scope
The family archive uses the river primarily as context for understanding people, land, transportation and community development. Detailed hydrology, recreation and modern river management belong to external geographic and public-agency sources rather than this genealogical repository.
