1962 Map of Loris

About this map

The Loris town center serves as the primary hub for this portion of Horry County, where the Atlantic Coast Line railroad cuts a diagonal path through the landscape. This 1962 survey reveals a rural economy deeply tied to the surrounding wetlands, with the expansive Pleasant Meadow Swamp and Mitchell Swamp dictating the placement of settlements and transport routes. Smaller communities like Green Sea, Finklea, and Allsbrook are centered around local churches and schools, such as Finklea High Sch and Silent Grove Ch.
