2014 Map of Horry

About this map

Aynor anchors the northern reaches of this coastal plain landscape, where the town’s grid of streets like Pine St and Hickory St meets the rural agricultural corridors of Horry County. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of blackwater drainages, most notably the wide reaches of Chinners Swamp, Palmetto Swamp, and Brown Swamp. These wetlands dictate the settlement pattern, with historic crossroads and small communities such as Jones Crossroads, Cool Spring, and Lundy Crossroads situated on the higher ground between creek branches. The map reveals the persistence of traditional land names and family-associated landmarks, including Dog Bluff and Knotty Branch, reflecting a deep-rooted local geography. A series of historic routes, such as Old Tram Rd, hint at the area's historical timber or agricultural transport legacy that helped shape these communities.
