2014 Map of Ocean Bay

About this map

The Francis Marion National Forest dominates this coastal South Carolina landscape, where a network of historic creeks and modern drainage infrastructure defines the low-lying terrain. Local family names and legacy routes are preserved through labels like Bob Morris Rd and Farewell Corner Road A. For genealogists, the map identifies specific burial sites including Halfway Creek Cem near the settlement of Halfway Creek and Apple Old Field Cem further south. The hydrography of the region is notably complex, featuring old waterways such as Huitt Br and Old Man Lead, alongside the Withey Wood Canal. These features illustrate the managed water systems common in the South Carolina Lowcountry, connecting small settlements like Ocean Bay and Fort Corner to the larger community of Awendaw.
