1959 Map of Sewee Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

I O N Swamp and the dense timberlands of the Francis Marion National Forest dominate this coastal landscape, where the tides of the Atlantic Ocean meet the intricate labyrinth of the Lowcountry. Along the corridor of Ocean Highway, small communities and spiritual centers like Nebo Ch, Sewee Ch, and Awendaw Ch served the local population in the late 1950s. The map illustrates a complex hydraulic environment, featuring numerous floodgates and drainage structures near Woodville and Clauson Creek, likely remnants of historic agricultural management. The eastern edge is defined by the Intracoastal Waterway and the protected marshes of the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, highlighting the region's long-standing balance between maritime transit and wilderness preservation.
