2017 Map of Santee Point

About this map

Quarantine stands as a notable point of interest on this coastal survey of Georgetown County, situated where the Atlantic tides meet the complex marshlands of the Winyah Bay entrance. The landscape is defined by a dense network of waterways and islands, including the large expanses of North Island and South Island, separated from the mainland by features like Lagoon Creek and the Rockfish Canal. Southward, the map details the shifting maritime environment of the North Santee Bay and the protective barrier of Santee Point. The presence of man-made navigation aids and designated shoal areas such as Mother Norton Shoal and the North Breakers highlights the historical and contemporary importance of this region as a gateway for South Carolina shipping and a site for coastal management.
