Red Hill: US 501 S @ Waccamaw River

About location

Red Hill combines the wooded character of South Carolina’s coastal plain with the heavy movement of U.S. Route 501 in a way that reflects its position beside the Waccamaw River. This part of Horry County lies in the broad Waccamaw River corridor, where wetlands and forested lowlands sit close to one of the region’s principal roads. U.S. 501 carries traffic between Conway, the county seat, and the Myrtle Beach area on the Atlantic coast, making Red Hill a practical inland link between a historic river town and the Grand Strand. The surrounding terrain remains notably low and green, shaped by the river basin rather than by the shoreline itself. Red Hill is defined less by an urban centre than by the meeting of road infrastructure, woodland and river country.
