2017 Map of Awendaw

About this map

Francis Marion National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, where the dense hydrology of Wambaw Swamp and Steed Creek Swamp gives way to the tidal marshes of the South Carolina coast. The settlement of Awendaw sits near the winding course of Awendaw Creek, a waterway that transitions from secluded forest streams into the broad Bulls Bay. Modern recreational trails, including the Awendaw Passage/Palmetto Trl, trace the edges of these wetlands, offering a detailed look at how the terrestrial forest meets the aquatic environment of the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge.
