1943 Map of Horry

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Aynor sits at the northern edge of this coastal plain landscape, where a network of rural crossroads and scattered settlements defines the inland character of Horry County. Based on 1943 surveys with 1980 photorevisions, the map reveals a community structured around small churches and schools such as St Elizabeth Ch, Pisgah Ch, and High Point Sch. The terrain is dominated by an intricate system of wetlands and branches, including Chinners Swamp and the expansive Little Pee Dee Swamp in the southwest corner. These natural features dictated the placement of early homesteads and travel routes, connecting locales like Jones Crossroads and Salem Crossroads. Cultural landmarks such as the Lookout Tower and Dog Bluff provide distinct reference points within the wooded lowlands, while the placement of the Rogers Fallout shelter reflects mid-century civil defense priorities layered over an earlier agricultural foundation.
