1942 Map of Magnolia Beach

About this map

Brookgreen Gardens anchors the northern coastal landscape of this Georgetown County survey, where the Waccamaw Neck narrows between the marshes and the Atlantic. The shoreline transition is defined by Magnolia Beach and the developed barrier of Pawleys Island, separated from the mainland by the winding Pawleys Island Creek. Inland, a series of small residential clusters including Georgieville, Annieville, and Parkersville follow the corridor of Route 17. This mid-century view reveals a landscape defined by tidal hydrology, with Clubhouse Creek and Midway Inlet shaping the shifting sands of the coast. The map preserves the spatial arrangement of these coastal communities before the extensive modern expansion of the Grand Strand area, documenting the early footprints of Fraserville and the quiet reaches of Flagg Pond.
