2024 Map of Sewee Bay

Deeply rooted local history is visible in landmarks like the Old Wappetaw Independent Congregational Church and the Nebo Church near its associated graveyard. Small communities like Woodville and Awendaw are positioned along the higher ground of the corridor now followed by Highway 17. The transition from the dense woodlands of Ton Swamp to the open waters of Sewee Bay and Mark Bay illustrates the delicate balance between the managed timberlands of the interior and the protected coastal wilderness of the Cape Romain Wilderness.
