About this map

The town of Loris anchors the western edge of this 2022 survey, which covers a transition between the South Carolina border and the intricate wetlands of Horry County. Small rural settlements like Goretown and Grahams Crossroads sit at the intersection of local routes, surrounded by family-named cemeteries such as Flag Patch Cem and Springfield Cem that provide valuable data for local genealogists.

Lower-lying terrain is dominated by the expansive Round Swamp and Frieds Bay, while drainage is provided by named branches and creeks including Sheepbridge Br and Buck Cr. The map reveals a landscape defined by traditional land use and newer developments, from the Hughes Mill Pond area to the modern Black Bear Golf Club. The inclusion of the Twin City Airport and Twin City Memorial Gardens reflects the local infrastructure serving both Loris and the surrounding agricultural community.
