About this map

Aynor serves as the primary hub for this portion of Horry County, where the convergence of highways and local roads reflects a history of inland agriculture and transport. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands, including the extensive Chinners Swamp and Brunson Swamp, which dictate the placement of smaller communities such as Doyle and Cool Spring. These features highlight the importance of drainage and water management in the Lowcountry's development.

Local history is preserved in the names of numerous crossroads and clusters such as Jones Crossroads and Lundy Crossroads, which likely originated as family settlements or rural gathering points. The map details the transition from the upland reaches near Dog Bluff down toward the bottomlands of the Little Pee Dee Swamp. Smaller drainage features like Mill Br and Ned Creek suggest the historical reliance on local waterpower and natural boundaries for property and parish divisions.
