2020 Map of McClellanville

About this map

The coastal village of McClellanville sits at the edge of a complex network of maritime forests and salt marshes, defined by its historic connection to the water. This 2020 landscape shows the town's residential core organized along Scotia St, Oak St, and Romain Rd, buffered to the north by the extensive Francis Marion National Forest. The geography is dominated by the Intracoastal Waterway and the expansive reaches of the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, where a labyrinth of tidal channels like Town Creek and Five Fathom Creek separate the mainland from Jeremy Island and Raccoon Key. Coastal navigation and ecological preservation are the primary themes here, as seen in the protected barrier features of Sandy Point Beach and the remote Lighthouse Island facing the Atlantic Ocean. The settlement pattern at Moores Corner and the path of the Old Georgetown Rd reflect the older overland routes that once linked this fishing and agricultural community to the wider Lowcountry.
