About this map

The Waccamaw River carves a winding path through this portion of Horry County, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and growing coastal plain settlements. Conway serves as the central hub, with its historic footprint bordered by Kingston Lake and the river's edge. The town's expansion is evident in the residential clusters of North Conway and Jamestown, while the campus of Coastal Carolina University marks a major educational anchor to the southeast in Red Hill.

Beyond the urban core, the map captures a patchwork of traditional river landings and named swamps that speak to the region's agricultural and maritime roots. Places like Pitch Landing and Savannah Bluff overlook the river's bends, while the western reaches are dominated by the extensive Jenkins Swamp and Thompson Swamp. For genealogists, the locations of Kingston Cemetery and Hillcrest Cemetery provide vital links to the families of the Waccamaw neck during this era of 21st-century growth.
