About this map

The town of Loris anchors this portion of Horry County, serving as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural and swamp-bordering communities. The landscape is defined by extensive wetlands, most notably the Pleasant Meadow Swamp and White Oak Swamp, which weave between small settlements like Allsbrook, Finklea, and Princeville. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage network of the Coastal Plain, featuring numerous named branches and swamps such as Playcard Swamp and Hellhole Swamp.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds. Researchers will find the Patterson Cemetery near the heart of town, while more outlying locations like Fowler Cemetery, Graham Cemetery, and Harrelson Cemetery are scattered across the rural countryside. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is also visible through specialized features like the Loris Oxidation Pond Dam D-3615 and the central Loris Post Office.
