About this map

The Little Pee Dee River and its complex network of bottomlands define this portion of Horry County, South Carolina. The landscape is characterized by numerous swampy bays and branches, including Oakey Bay, Juniper Bay, and Hunting Swamp, which dictate the placement of local settlements and timber-era infrastructure. Historically significant sites such as Old Antioch Cemetery and the Pauley Swamp Cemetery offer vital reference points for genealogical research in this coastal plain region.

Economic and social hubs are established at various junctions like Singleton Crossroads, Pee Dee Crossroads, and Guiton Crossing. The map reveals a reliance on the water table for local industry and recreation, evidenced by several named impoundments such as Martins Fishing Pond and Mack James Pond. At the southern edge, Dongola sits near the winding riverbanks, while Punchbowl Landing indicates a point of river access that has served the community for generations.
