1943 Map of Brookgreen

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Waccamaw River divides this coastal landscape, separating the dense network of swamps and rice-field channels on Sandy Island from the emerging coastal developments of the mid-20th century. On the western bank, river landings like Wachesaw Landing and Mulberry Landing hint at an era of river-borne commerce and historic plantation sites. The eastern side of the quadrangle shows the transformation of the Grand Strand, where the established community of Murrells Inlet sits adjacent to newer shoreline features like Garden City Beach and several trailer parks. Grounded in the southern portion of the map is Brookgreen Gardens, a notable cultural landmark established on former plantation lands. Between the river and the sea, a patchwork of community life is visible through local institutions such as Bethel Ch, Gordons Ch, and the Wildwood Sch, illustrating the transition from rural agricultural clusters to a modern maritime and recreational economy.
