1943 Map of Ocean Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Francis Marion National Forest dominates this low-country landscape along the Berkeley and Charleston County line. The area is defined by an intricate network of wetlands, featuring Ocean Bay and the extensive Wambaw Swamp Wilderness. Unlike more developed coastal regions, this territory reflects a 1940s economy shaped by timber and water management, evidenced by the Old Railroad Grade and man-made features like the Withey Wood Canal. Small community anchors are visible at Ocean Grove Ch and the Halfway Creek Sch, marking pockets of local life within the expansive swampy terrain. The presence of Cromwell Dam Creek and Harleson Dam Creek suggests historic water control for agriculture or industry, while water bodies like Quimby Creek and Awendaw Creek provide the primary drainage for the surrounding basins.
