About this map

Prince Mill Swamp and a complex network of coastal depressions known as "bays" define the landscape of Horry County as it appeared in recent years. The map documents the persistent agricultural and wetland character of the region, where numerous named bays like Horseskull Bay, Joiner Bay, and Reedy Bay dot the terrain. These features, often associated with unique drainage patterns, are interspersed with small settlements such as Playcards and Bayboro.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and resting places, including Graham Cem, Martin Cem, and Johnson Cem. The infrastructure of the area is tied to its water bodies, as seen at Strickland Bridge over the Lake Swamp, providing a clear view of how local travel routes like State RD S-26-19 have historically navigated the low-lying Carolina coastal plain.
