2014 Map of Longs

About this map

Worthams Ferry serves as a central landmark in this 2014 survey where the Waccamaw River snakes through the lowlands of the South Carolina and North Carolina border. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the river and its numerous tributaries, including Cawcaw Swamp and Bellamy Br. This coastal plain area exhibits a pattern of small settlements and family-named landmarks, such as Stephens Crossroads and Little Town, connected by a network of rural roads like Seven Creeks Hwy. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, ranging from Butler Cem in the north to Mt Calvery Cem near the larger settlement of Little River in the south. The crossing at Waccamaw Bridges and the presence of Worthams Cutoff Rd illustrate how modern transit lines have been superimposed on the traditional river-and-road paths of Horry and Columbus counties.
