These communities were historically designated by numbers, such as 78, reflecting the layout of former sugar plantations owned by Bookers. Ten kilometers south of the town center, Moleson Creek serves as the departure point for the CANAWAIMA ferry, which has linked Guyana with South Drain in Suriname since 1998.
