1942 Map of Magnolia Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Pawleys Island stands as the centerpiece of this coastal survey, appearing just as it was being updated with 1973 revisions to reflect post-war development along the South Carolina shore. The landscape is defined by the thin barrier strand of Magnolia Beach and the intricate tidal waterways including Clubhouse Creek and Midway Inlet. Inland, the map documents several distinct settlements such as Georgieville, Annieville, Parkersville, and Fraserville, which suggest the historic community patterns of Georgetown County before modern suburban expansion. A large portion of the northern quadrangle is dedicated to Brookgreen Gardens, while landmarks like Flagg Pond and a local Golf Course mark the transition from natural wetlands to recreational land use. The topography reveals the delicate balance between the Long Bay coastline and the mainland marsh, captured through a combination of 1942 photogrammetry and later aerial updates.
