2011 Map of Santee Point

About this map

Quarantine marks the northern edge of this coastal landscape where the Intracoastal Waterway and Yawkey Way S thread through the salt marshes and maritime forests of Georgetown County. The intricate network of tidal channels includes Mosquito Creek, Lagoon Creek, and the Rockfish Canal, illustrating the complex hydrology of the lowcountry. Prominent landforms such as Cat Island, South Island, and the low elevation of Pine Ridge stand in contrast to the shifting sands of the North Breakers and South Breakers. Mariners and local historians will find the nautical context around the Winyah Bay Entrance particularly detailed, showing the relationship between offshore hazards like Mother Norton Shoal and the landmark at Cape San Roman. The transition from riverine outflow at North Santee Inlet to the open Atlantic Ocean reveals the dynamic nature of Santee Point.
