About this map

Myrtle Beach and its surrounding coastal communities are captured here in the mid-1990s, showcasing the transition from inland swamp drainage to intensive seaside development. The landscape is defined by the Intracoastal Waterway cutting through the terrain, separating older settlements like Socastee and Pine Island from the burgeoning tourism hubs along the shore. The massive footprint of the Myrtle Beach International Airport stands as a central landmark, flanked by suburban growth and recreational spaces like the Myrtle Beach State Park.

Local heritage is visible through scattered institutions such as Mt Carmel Ch and Pleasant Hill Ch, alongside newer residential pockets like Deerfield Plantation and Ocean Lakes. The presence of Withers Swash and Midway Swash illustrates the natural drainage patterns that have long shaped this part of Horry County, even as large-scale features like the Pavilion and numerous golf courses signal the area's modern identity as a premier Atlantic destination.
