2011 Map of Sewee Bay

About this map

Wappetow Cemetery stands as a significant historical anchor in this coastal landscape, situated near the headwaters of the Wando River. The settlement pattern follows a distinct transition from the agricultural interior, where small communities like Woodville and Chandler are established along the road network, to the intricate tidal marshes of the Atlantic coast. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts through these wetlands, bypassing Sewee Bay and Mark Bay to support maritime traffic. Land use in the early 21st century reflects a mix of traditional Lowcountry estates and modern rural developments, evidenced by the Santo Sotille Ranch and the proximity of the Awendaw Post Office. The drainage systems of Guerin Creek and Capers Creek illustrate the complex hydrology that has shaped the region's geography and history.
