2017 Map of Duford

About this map

Floyds Crossroads and Duford serve as central nodes for this rural stretch of Horry County along the North Carolina border. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, where numerous Carolina bays such as Gray Bay, Mossy Bay, and Fifteenmile Bay are interspersed with low-lying swamps and creeks. This 2017 survey reveals the enduring agricultural and residential patterns of the region, anchored by historical family burial grounds including Hook Cem, Riverside Cem, and Soules Cem. The intersection of State Hwy 430 and Duford Rd marks the center of local activity, while Green Sea Airport and the community of Mount Olive anchor the southeastern portion. The presence of Bear Sand Ridges in the northwest highlights the subtle but distinct geological variations that have influenced settlement and drainage in this coastal plain environment for generations.
