About this map

Adrian and Homewood anchor this coastal plain landscape in Horry County, where a dense network of crossroads settlements and family-named landmarks defines the rural geography. The map reveals an intricate drainage system dominated by expansive wetlands such as Chinners Swamp, Maple Swamp, and Boggy Swamp. These hydraulic features are interspersed with numerous smaller settlements like Booth, Allen, and Maple Crossroads, reflecting a pattern of upland habitation surrounded by low-lying drainages.

Genealogists can identify key burial sites and water features associated with local family history, including the Thompson Cem near the eastern edge and Smith Pond to the west. Local infrastructure is marked by features like Hoffman Pond Dam and the convergence of transit points at Baxter Forks and Saint Paul Forks. The southern reaches of the map transition toward the waters of Kingston Lake, illustrating the varied terrain of the South Carolina lowcountry near the Waccamaw River basin.
