2017 Map of Ocean Forest

About this map

Myrtle Beach and the coastal neighborhood of Ocean Forest anchor this survey of the Grand Strand during a period of significant development. The landscape is defined by the intersection of natural drainage features and modern infrastructure, where Canepatch Swash and Deephead Swash reach toward the Atlantic coast. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the northwest corner of the map, buffered by residential corridors like Marina Pkwy and River Oaks Dr. Further inland, Withers Swamp remains a notable topographic feature amidst a grid of vacation and residential streets. The map illustrates the shoreline of Long Bay, showing the dense concentration of streets such as N Ocean Blvd and Granddaddy Dr that characterize the area's growth as a major seaside destination.
