About this map

The Waccamaw River winds through the heart of this coastal plain landscape, defining the character of Conway and its surrounding communities. By the early 21st century, the area shows a distinct pattern of residential expansion, with numerous neighborhoods like Quattlebaum Acres, Huckabee Heights, and University Forest established around the historic center. The presence of Coastal Carolina University and its associated residence halls marks the southeastern corner of the quadrangle as a modern institutional hub, contrasting with the quiet riverine landings and swamps to the south and west.

Water management and local history are etched into the terrain, seen in features like Conway Oxidation Pond Number One and the quiet reaches of Bear Swamp and Jenkins Swamp. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the mapped locations of Kingston Cemetery and Hillcrest Cemetery, as well as older settlement points such as Toddville and Grissett. Traditional river landmarks like Pitch Landing and Savannah Bluff suggest the enduring importance of the river corridor even as the Conway-Horry County Airport and modern golf courses signal a shift in the local economy.
