2014 Map of Ocean Forest

About this map

Myrtle Beach and the developed shoreline of Long Bay dominate this 2014 survey, illustrating the complex residential and leisure landscape of the Grand Strand. Modern residential developments like Northwood, Highlands, and Plantation Point are shown in high detail, illustrating the density of this coastal region. The map reveals the relationship between the built environment and the area's natural hydrography, specifically where Canepatch Swash and Deephead Swash reach the Atlantic Ocean. Inland, the Intracoastal Waterway serves as a major navigational boundary, separating the coastal neighborhoods from the interior. For local historians, the sheet provides a precise look at the neighborhood layouts of Washington Park, Myrtle Heights, and Ocean Forest as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
