1943 Map of Brookgreen

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Brookgreen Gardens anchors this coastal landscape, situated between the expansive rice-field heritage of the Waccamaw River and the salt marshes of the Atlantic. The intricate network of waterways like Bull Creek, Prince Creek, and Collins Creek illustrates the complex hydrologic character of the lowcountry, where timber and river commerce once thrived at sites like Longwood Landing and Wachesaw Landing. The transition from the river swamps to the coast is marked by a series of high-ground islands including Sandy Island and Richmond Island. Along the oceanfront, the development of Garden City Beach and the historic fishing village of Murrells Inlet show a mid-century shift toward coastal tourism. Inland, the map documents small rural communities served by Gordons Ch, Bethel Ch, and Brown Sch, reflecting the localized social geography of Georgetown County before modern highway expansion transformed the corridor.
