1959 Map of Sewee Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Francis Marion National Forest dominates the inland landscape of this 1950s coastal survey, giving way to the intricate salt marshes and tidal channels of Sewee Bay. The intersection of terrestrial and maritime life is evident along the Ocean Highway, where local community hubs like Awendaw Ch and Awendaw Sch provided foundations for rural residents. Historic burial grounds and places of worship, including Wappetaw Cem, Sewee Ch, and Nebo Ch, are scattered near the transition from forest to marsh. Further south, the Wando River meanders toward the coast, passing small settlements such as Woodville and Chandler. The eastern reaches transition into the protected habitats of the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, featuring a complex network of waterways like Bull Creek and Price Creek that separate Bull Island from the South Carolina mainland.
