1942 Map of Santee Point

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Cat Island and North Island flank the strategically significant Winyah Bay Entrance in this 1942 survey of coastal South Carolina. The intricate marshlands of the South Island interior are dissected by a complex network of waterways, including Mosquito Creek, Duck Creek, and Harmon Creek. Of particular interest to historians is the Quarantine station located along the western shore of Winyah Bay and the presence of Cat Island Plantation, representing the area's agricultural and maritime legacy. The map reveals the early engineering of the harbor with the North Jetty and South Jetty extending into the Atlantic Ocean. Low-lying terrain features like Pine Ridge and Sand Dunes define the barrier landscape, while tidal basins such as Wheeler Basin and Sand Creek Basin illustrate the fluid nature of the Georgetown County coastline before mid-century development.
