About this map

The Green Swamp and the dense wetlands of Waccamaw dominate this mid-century survey of Brunswick County. This landscape is defined by the Lockwoods Folly River and its intricate network of tributaries, including Royal Oak Swamp and Doe Creek. Along the elevated Prospect Ridge, a cluster of rural infrastructure centers on Prospect, where Prospect Church and the winding Boones Neck Road served the local community.

Tracing the path toward the settlement of Supply, the map reveals the local social geography through landmarks like Concord Church, Macedonia Ch, and the Royal Oak School. The presence of the Old Tram Road and Lockwoods Folly Bridge highlights the region's historic transportation and timber corridors. Near the coast, distinctive coastal features like Cumbee Bay and Hull Bay provide a detailed look at the interface between the wooded swamps and the tidal reaches of Smithville.
