About this map

Quarantine stands as a solitary settlement marker on this coastal survey, positioned where the Atlantic waters meet the intricate marshes of South Island. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of waterways, including Rockfish Canal, Lagoon Creek, and Mosquito Cr, which weave through a series of significant landforms like Cat Island and North Island. These islands and shoals, such as Mother Norton Shoal and Fishing Bank, illustrate the dynamic nature of the South Carolina coastline near the Winyah Bay Entrance.

Southward, the terrain transitions into the North Santee Bay area, anchored by Santee Point and the North Santee Inlet. The inclusion of Yawkey Way provides a rare terrestrial reference point through the maritime-dominated environment. Notable navigational hazards and landmarks like Cape San Roman, North Breakers, and East Bank define the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, offering crucial detail for maritime historians and coastal researchers.
