About this map

The Waccamaw River and Intracoastal Waterway define the western portion of this coastal landscape, where numerous islands like Richmond Island and Bull Tongue Island are separated by intricate networks of creeks. This modern survey shows the coastal development of Murrells Inlet and Garden City as they appeared in the early 2010s, reflecting a mix of residential expansion and preserved maritime heritage.

Historically significant river landings, including Wachesaw Landing and Mulberry Landing, point to the area's long reliance on waterborne transit before the rise of Ocean Hwy. On the Atlantic shore, Garden City Beach and Magnolia Beach represent the high-density recreational corridor, while interior settlements like Burgess maintain a more rural character. The map also documents the unique geography of the marshlands, featuring Drunken Jack Island and the tidal flow of Main Creek and Whale Creek.
