2017 Map of Cape Romain OE E

About this map

The Atlantic Ocean dominates this coastal survey, where the open sea meets the shoreline of South Carolina at a point along the Georgetown County boundary. The only landform visible on this specific sheet is a portion of Cedar Island, appearing in the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. This map represents the outermost edge of the state's coastal marshes and barrier islands, capturing the maritime geography as it existed in 2017. Because this area is primarily open water, the map serves as an important record of the contemporary coastline before shifting tides and environmental changes further alter the boundary between the sea and the coastal islands.
