2024 Map of Horry

About this map

Aynor serves as the primary hub in this portion of Horry County, where the transition from organized town streets to the rural coastal plain is clearly marked. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands, including the expansive Chinners Swamp and Palmetto Swamp, which dictate the placement of local roads and smaller communities. Settlement patterns follow the higher ground between these water bodies, resulting in a series of distinct local centers such as Jones Crossroads, Salem Crossroads, and Lundy Crossroads. Family and local history is anchored by sites like Aynor Cem and Point Cem, while the names of smaller hamlets like Jonestown and Jordanville reflect the long-standing community identities of the region. The map captures the persistence of these rural nodes amidst the dense hydrography of Brown Swamp and Spring Swamp, illustrating how the natural drainage of the Little Pee Dee River basin has shaped human geography for generations.
