2020 Map of Hammond

About this map

The Waccamaw River winds through the lowlands of Horry County, defining the geography of this coastal plain landscape. At the heart of the area, Red Bluff Crossroads and the settlement of Red Bluff serve as traditional focal points near the Red Bluff Bridge. The map reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, including Grainger Cem, Mount Leon Cem, and Hardee Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of South Carolina. The terrain is characterized by extensive wetlands and named bays, such as Thoroughfare Bay and Woodward Bay, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of Cowpen Swamp and Big Swamp. Modern infrastructure like the Myrtle Beach Hardee Airpark exists alongside older established markers like Parker Lodge, showing the area's continued evolution from its river-centered roots.
