About this map

Georgetown and its sprawling coastal environs are documented in this 2020 record of the Lowcountry, where the Sampit River meets the expansive Winyah Bay. The map highlights the town's colonial and maritime legacy, featuring the Prince George Winyah Cem and other historic burial sites like the Jewish Cem and Baptist Cem. To the south and west, the landscape is defined by vast wetlands and tidal passages, including Pennyroyal Creek, Turkey Cr, and the Intracoastal Waterway.

Commercial and residential development centers around Maryville and Belle Isle Gardens, while the Georgetown County Airport and Industrial Dr mark more contemporary infrastructure. Rural outposts like Moyd and Strawberry sit at the edges of a network of named bays—Big Kilcock Bay, Flat Bay, and White Oak Bay—reflecting a topography where land and water are constantly intertwined. The map provides a precise look at the transition from urban centers to the labyrinthine islands of the Western Channel.
