1942 Map of Cape Romain

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge dominates this coastal survey, preserving a complex system of barrier islands and salt marshes along the South Carolina coast. The map illustrates the dynamic interface between the Atlantic Ocean and the sheltered waters of Cape Romain Harbor. Significant landforms including Murphy Island and Cape Island show the intricate network of tidal guts such as Alligator Creek and Needles Eye Creek. The path of the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the northern marshlands, signifying the region's importance for maritime transit. Notable landmarks like Lighthouse Island and Deepwater Point mark the transition from the protected sounds to the open sea. This edition, based on 1942 data with 1973 photorevisions, captures the shoreline at a time when the boundary between Charleston and Georgetown counties was defined by the winding course of the South Santee River.
