1967 Map of Georgetown
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
Winyah Bay serves as the focal point for this coastal region, where the Pee Dee River, Black River, and Waccamaw River converge at Georgetown. The landscape is defined by vast wetlands and managed timberlands, notably within the Francis Marion National Forest and the swampy recesses of Hell Hole Bay. Along the coast, the burgeoning mid-century tourism economy is evident in the string of beach communities stretching across Long Bay, from Myrtle Beach down to Pawleys Island. Transportation networks like the Atlantic Coast Line RR and the Intracoastal Waterway reveal the infrastructure supporting both the historical timber and naval stores industries and the modern era of seaside travel. Significant military history remains visible at the mouth of the Cape Fear River near Southport with the presence of Fort Caswell and Fort Fisher.
