2017 Map of Hammond

About this map

The Waccamaw River carves through a landscape of expansive wetlands and scattered agricultural settlements in this 2017 survey of Horry County. The settlement at Hammond and the vital junction of Red Bluff Crossroads anchor the southwestern portion of the sheet, where Red Bluff Bridge provides a critical crossing over the river's main channel. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of bays and swamps, including Rice Patch Bay, Cowpen Swamp, and Jones Big Swamp, reflecting the low-lying coastal plain environment. Genealogy researchers will find several family and community landmarks, such as Grainger Cem, Mount Leon Cem, and Hardee Cem. Transport patterns are defined by historic routes like Old Todd Ferry Rd and the modern presence of Myrtle Beach Hardee Airpark, showing the area's transition from river-dependent transit to contemporary infrastructure while maintaining its rural character.
