1942 Map of Santee Point

About this map

Cat Island and South Island dominate this coastal landscape where the waters of Winyah Bay meet the Atlantic Ocean. During the early 1940s, this area remained largely defined by its natural topography and early maritime infrastructure, including the protective North Jetty and South Jetty at the Winyah Bay Entrance. Inland, the presence of the Cat Island Plantation and a designated Quarantine station near Mosquito Creek point to the historic land use and navigational controls of the Georgetown coast. The topography reveals a complex network of tidal waterways such as Lagoon Creek and Beach Creek, surrounding interior features like Wheeler Basin and the elevated Pine Ridge. These details provide a look at the barrier island system before late-twentieth-century changes shifted the shoreline and marsh drainage patterns.
