1948 Map of Bayboro

About this map

Lake Swamp and a dense network of water bodies dominate this Horry County landscape, reflecting the intricate drainage patterns of the South Carolina coastal plain. The settlement of Bayboro serves as a small hub at the crossroads, supported by several rural institutions like Bayboro Sch and Bayboro Ch. The map reveals a high density of neighborhood-level landmarks, including multiple schools like Lewis School No 1 and Lewis School No 2, and various denominational centers such as Mt Pisgah Ch and Bethel Chapel. The land is characterized by numerous named bays and swamps, including Bullit Bay, Bogue Bay, and Mose Swamp, which influenced the placement of early farms and roads like Strickland Bridge. Family-named cemeteries, such as Graham Cem and Johnson Cem, provide vital geographic markers for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads in the region.
