2017 Map of Georgetown South

About this map

Georgetown and its surrounding coastal lowlands are defined by a complex network of waterways where the Sampit River, Waccamaw River, and Great Pee Dee River converge into Winyah Bay. This 2017 study illustrates the intersection of deep-rooted local history and modern infrastructure, featuring the historic Prince George Winyah Cem and Jewish Cem near the downtown grid. The landscape transitions from the urban density of Maryville to the sprawling wetlands of White Oak Bay and Flat Bay. Significant coastal features include the Intracoastal Waterway and the Georgetown County Airport, which occupy the high ground between the marshes. Genealogists will find interest in the scattered burial grounds like Pennyroyal Cem, while the positioning of Belle Isle Gardens reflects the area's long-standing relationship with the South Carolina coast's tidal topography.
