Its birth is a geographic curiosity. High on the Eastern Continental
Divide, two notable springs rise just a few yards apart. One flows north,
as the New River, to the Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico. The other,
heading ultimately south toward the Atlantic, is the Yadkin, which becomes
the Pee Dee. Dammed repeatedly for recreation and electric power, it is
a mighty stream as it cuts through vast timberlands and farms on its way
to Georgetown and Winyah Bay.
