2020 Map of Dongola

About this map

Little Pee Dee River and the expansive Hunting Swamp dominate this part of Horry County, where the landscape is defined by its intricate network of blackwater creeks and bays. The settlement of Dongola sits near the Pauley Swamp Cem, while the crossroads communities of Singleton Crossroads and Pee Dee Crossroads mark the intersections of the local road system. The terrain is a complex mosaic of water and land, featuring Sandy Island Lake and the larger Juniper Bay to the north. These features are characteristic of the Carolina Bays region, where elliptical depressions and wetland basins create a unique ecological and topographical pattern. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of family-associated sites like Martins Fishing Pond and Mack James Pond, alongside evidence of historical transit such as Old Railroad Rd.
