About this map

Red Bluff Crossroads serves as a central point in this part of Horry County, where the landscape transitions from established agricultural settlements to the dense wetlands of the Waccamaw River valley. The map documents a network of rural communities including Hammond, Simpson, and Daisy, each connected by a winding system of roads that navigate around significant swamp features like Cowpen Swamp and Todd Swamp.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites across the landscape, such as Grainger Cemetery and Hardee Cemetery. The presence of Hardee Airport and the bridge crossing at Red Bluff highlight the area's modern infrastructure while it maintains its traditional coastal plain character. The southern edge of the survey is dominated by the serpentine course of the Waccamaw, featuring backwater elements like Flat Lake and the named landing at Star Bluff.
