About this map

The Little Pee Dee River and its complex network of oxbow lakes and wetlands define this portion of Horry County. At the river's crossing point, the historic settlement of Galivants Ferry remains a central landmark, connected by the Galivants Ferry Bridge to the western bank. The landscape is characterized by a high density of small, named water bodies such as Jack Lake, Cypress Lake, and Snowbird Lake, which sit alongside distinctive terrain features like the Half Moon Sand Hills and Bear Knot Island.

Away from the river swamps, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural roads and agricultural communities. Notable junctions and local centers like Ketchuptown, McQueen Crossroads, and the town of Aynor show the inland development patterns of the early 21st century. Genealogists may find interest in local landmarks such as the Gerald Cemetery or family-named sites like Graham Mill Pond and Vaught Lake, reflecting long-standing local ties to the land.
