1948 Map of Galivants Ferry

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Little Pee Dee River serves as the winding natural boundary between Marion and Horry counties, its course defined by a complex network of oxbow lakes and swamps including Devils Elbow, Snowbird Lake, and Smokey Lake. This mid-century survey documents the transition from the river-dependent landing at Galivants Ferry to the burgeoning road network of the inland Coastal Plain. Further east, the vast Lake Swamp dominates the landscape, dotted with isolated landmarks like Bear Knot Island and Turkey Pen Swamp. The settlement pattern is largely agricultural and decentralized, with local life anchored by a series of small rural schools and churches such as Pisgah Sch, Chapel Hill Sch, and Gethsemane Ch. Notable crossroad communities like Ketchuptown and McQueen Crossroads appear alongside family identifiers like Gerald Cem, providing valuable data for tracing local family histories.
