1990 Map of Longs

About this map

The Waccamaw River carves a broad, winding path through the low-lying terrain of the Carolina borderlands, defining much of this 1990 landscape. The massive Waccamaw River Swamp dominates the central and eastern portions of the sheet, where seasonal flooding and dense vegetation historically dictated the pace of development. Scattered settlements like Longs and Little Town are situated on slightly higher ground, connected by rural routes that intersect at Stephens Crossroads. This area reflects a long-standing reliance on river crossings, evidenced by the location of Worthams Ferry.
