About this map

The Waccamaw River carves a winding path through the heart of this landscape, its expansive floodplains and swamps defining the local geography. Significant infrastructure crosses these wetlands, including the Waccamaw Bridges and the Indigo Bridge, while historical river crossings like Worthams Ferry recall an era of water-based travel. Settlements such as Longs and Olyphic serve as focal points for the surrounding rural communities, each maintaining its own Longs Post Office and Olyphic Post Office.

Genealogical interest is high throughout the area, with several family-named burial grounds like Butler Cemetery, Bellamy Cemetery, and Platt Cemetery distributed near the main thoroughfares. To the north, State Line Monument 1 marks the boundary between South Carolina and North Carolina, while recreational development is evident in the south at Eagle Nest Golf Course. Small crossroads like Stephens Crossroads and Brooksville anchor the network of rural roads that navigate the creeks and branches feeding the Waccamaw.
