2020 Map of Nixonville

About this map

The Waccamaw River winds through this coastal South Carolina landscape, defining a region where dense swamp systems and traditional settlements meet modern expansion. The map details the transition from the historic riverside bluffs at Bear Bluff to the established neighborhoods of Conway. Local history is anchored by family burial grounds, including Graham Cem, Reaves Cem, and Thompkins Cem, which sit alongside early crossroads like Nixonville and Grahamville. The area is characterized by unique elliptical depressions known as bays, such as Tuckahoe Bay, Michael Hole Bay, and Cottonpatch Bay, which pockmark the terrain between larger drainage systems like Beaverdam Swamp and Big Swamp. The settlement at Jaluco and the various branches of Steritt Swamp further illustrate the intricate water-dependent geography of Horry County.
