1943 Map of Wampee

About this map

The coastal landscapes of Horry County are defined here by a mix of early-century maritime industry and wartime military installations. Inland from the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracostal Waterway carves through the terrain, separating the mainland from Little River Neck. The 1940s landscape is heavily marked by the mobilization for World War II, featuring the expansive U. S. Army Bombing Range and the Windy Hill Antiaircraft Camp positioned near the shoreline.
