1943 Map of Brookgreen

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Brookgreen Gardens and the winding reaches of the Waccamaw River define this South Carolina coastal landscape during the mid-twentieth century. The transition from the tidal river swamps of Sandy Island to the growing seaside community of Garden City Beach is documented in detail. The map highlights the early development of Murrells Inlet and the surrounding shoreline along Long Bay, where Main Creek and Woodland Creek snake through the salt marshes. Inland, the rural character of the era is preserved through numerous family and community landmarks, including St Peters Ch, St James Sch, and Collins Creek Ch. This survey illustrates the relationship between the historic river landings, such as Wachesaw Landing and Mulberry Landing, and the emerging coastal tourism economy that began to reshape the Lowcountry in the decades following the war.
