1942 Map of North Island

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Bellefield Plantation and Friendfield stand as prominent landmarks on the southern end of Waccamaw Neck, where the land meets the intricate tidal network of Waccamaw River. This coastal landscape is dominated by the sprawling expanse of North Island, separated from the mainland by a complex system of waterways including Town Creek and Old Man Creek. The 1942 survey detail reveals a transition from the structured grounds of historic plantations to the wilder, shifting sand dunes of Debidue Beach and Long Bay. A labyrinth of tidal channels like Bread and Butter Creek and No Mans Friend Cr underscores the nautical complexity of the region before significant modern development. Further inland, small community markers like Denny Corner and Caines provide critical points of reference for local historians studying the mid-century settlement patterns of Georgetown County.
