2024 Map of Duford

About this map

Gapway Swamp and Jordan Creek drain the low-lying landscapes of Horry County at the South Carolina and North Carolina border. This area is characterized by a dense network of elliptical depressions known as Carolina Bays, including Big Bay, Alligator Bay, and Fifteenmile Bay, which dictate the local drainage and road patterns. The small agricultural settlements of Duford and Mount Olive serve as local hubs, connected by routes like Old Stage Rd and Hwy 389. Genealogists will find a high concentration of family and community burial sites such as Martin Cem, Hook Cem, and the Mount Vernon Missionary Church Graveyard. The eastern portion of the map is marked by the Green Sea Airport and the crossing of Trappiloo Creek, illustrating the intersection of modern aviation and the longstanding river-and-swamp geography that has shaped this region for generations.
