2011 Map of Ocean Forest

About this map

Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean define the narrow coastal corridor of Horry County at the start of the 2010s. This survey details the residential and recreational fabric of the Grand Strand north of the main downtown area, where local drainages like Canepatch Swash and Deephead Swash cut through the sandy terrain toward the sea. The map documents a dense network of neighborhoods including Blynn Acres, Oakland Heights, and Forest Dunes, reflecting the intense development of this tourist-driven region. Of particular interest to local historians is the Live Oak Post Office and the alignment of the Robert M Grissom Pkwy, which serves as a primary north-south artery inland from the coastline. The map provides a precise look at the transition from the winding roads of Lake Shore and Ocean Forest to the structured street grid of Myrtle Heights.
