1990 Map of Snow Island

About this map

Snow Island sits at the heart of this Lowcountry landscape, where the Great Pee Dee River and Lynch Creek converge amidst a dense network of oxbow lakes and swamps. The terrain is defined by its watery borders, including the winding course of the river that separates Marion, Florence, Horry, and Georgetown counties. The map documents the intricate riverine environment of the late 20th century, showing a territory where access was often limited to water, as evidenced by the Snow Island Boat Ramp and Sampson Landing.
