About this map

The Waccamaw River carves through a landscape of dense wetlands and rising timberlands in this coastal South Carolina study. Historically significant river access points like Lees Landing and Reaves Landing anchor the waterway, reflecting an era when these banks were central to local movement. Small settlements such as Nixonville, Grahamville, and Vina are connected by a network of rural roads including Old Reaves Ferry Rd and Grahamville Rd.

Genealogists can find several family-named landmarks and burial sites, including the Graham Cemetery, Reaves Cemetery, and Thompkins Cemetery. The map captures the suburban transition of Horry County, showing the Carolina Forest Post Office and residential developments like Myrtle Trace emerging near the Myrtle Beach National Golf Course. Extensive lowlands such as Steritt Swamp and Socastee Swamp dominate the topography, while landmarks like The Wild Horse and Bear Bluff Lodge suggest the area's long-standing connection to outdoor recreation and hunting.
