2020 Map of Sewee Bay

About this map

Sewee Bay and its complex network of tidal creeks and marshlands define this coastal stretch of South Carolina. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling conservation lands of the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge and the southern reaches of the Francis Marion National Forest. Inland from the Intracoastal Waterway, small rural settlements such as Awendaw, Woodville, and Ten Mile line the historic road corridors. Genealogists will find the Wappetaw Cem situated near the intersection of Seewee Rd, a landmark for local family history. The map detail extends to the riverine environments of the Wando River and Guerin Cr, while offshore features like Bull Island and Capers Island protect the mainland from the Atlantic Ocean. The presence of numerous named secondary roads, including Gadsdenville Rd and Hutchinson Rd, illustrates the residential patterns of the Lowcountry at this time.
