1950 Map of Galivants Ferry

About this map

Little Pee Dee River defines the western edge of this 1950 coastal plain landscape, where a intricate network of oxbow lakes like Snowbird Lake and Smokey Lake speaks to the shifting course of the water. The historic river crossing at Galivants Ferry serves as a primary hub, connecting to the agricultural interior through roads like Dawsey. This survey highlights the rural social fabric of Horry County through its numerous community anchors, including Sandy Plains Ch and New Home Ch, alongside several local schools such as Pisgah Sch and Chapel Hill Sch. The terrain is marked by distinct geological features like the Half Moon Sand Hills and the sprawling Lake Swamp, while small settlements like Ketchuptown and Aynor show the established crossroads culture of mid-century South Carolina.
