Conway is the administrative anchor of the Horry County South Carolina map, while Myrtle Beach gives the reader another named reference within the county. The image is intentionally simple: it is meant for county identification, comparison, and download rather than turn-by-turn navigation or a complete inventory of communities.

The table separates map content from background facts. Conway and Myrtle Beach are the two place names used on the image; population, land area, and the 1801 founding year are supporting context for readers comparing several South Carolina counties.
What the Map Actually Shows
Two names do most of the work on this file: Conway and Myrtle Beach. Starting with the county seat makes the administrative center easy to identify, and the second label gives another reference inside the same county. Because the graphic is a county-boundary reference map, it should not be interpreted as a complete street map or as a depiction of every municipal boundary.
County Layout and Neighboring Areas
The county boundary makes more sense when it is read next to neighboring jurisdictions. Dillon County, Georgetown County, Marion County provide immediate comparison points, while the broader lower Coastal Plain / Lowcountry setting supplies regional context. This page keeps that physical-geography description at a broad scale because the map itself does not claim to label detailed waterways, elevations, or road corridors.
Local Context for Reading the Boundary
The historical and present-day administrative facts answer different questions. Horry County dates to 1801, whereas Conway identifies the current county seat. SCAC’s population figure of 351,029 ranks 4th among the state’s counties, and its 1,134-square-mile land area ranks 1. These comparisons help readers judge county scale when several South Carolina maps are viewed at the same printed size.
Ways to Use This Map
- Place the map in a report or presentation that needs a clean county outline without a full street network.
- Use the JPG for a consistent county-by-county comparison of population rank, land-area rank, and boundary shape.
- Use the file to distinguish the administrative role of Conway from the secondary reference name Myrtle Beach.
- Compare the Horry County outline with Dillon County and Georgetown County when explaining neighboring boundaries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the map show the full lower Coastal Plain / Lowcountry geography?
No. The lower Coastal Plain / Lowcountry description is broad regional context for the article. The image itself shows the Horry County boundary and the reference labels Conway and Myrtle Beach; detailed physical features are outside the scope of this file.
Why are Conway and Myrtle Beach the two labeled places?
Conway is the county seat, so it provides the clearest administrative reference. Myrtle Beach adds a second place name for orientation within Horry County. The map does not claim to label every municipality or community.
