2024 Map of Shell

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

Kingston Lake and a labyrinth of Lowcountry wetlands dominate this Horry County landscape, where the northern reaches of Conway meet rural timber and farmland. The hydrology of the region is intricately mapped, featuring numerous named "bays" and swamps such as Rice Patch Bay, Hellhole Swamp, and Alligator Swamp that break up the sandy soils of Bear Grass Ridge. Local history is preserved through a dense network of family and community burial grounds, including the New Home Church Graveyard and Chestnut Cem, which reflect the area's deep-rooted settlement patterns. Small communities like Shell and Howells serve as focal points along a transportation network of historic routes like Hwy 19 E and Hwy 139, illustrating the transition from wilderness to agricultural homesteads in the coastal plain.
