New South Associates

From project summary and objectives: "The survey area was the limits of Georgetown County, South Carolina, including the municipalities of Andrews, Sampit, Oatland, Plantersville, Yauhannah, Murrells Inlet, Garden City, De Bordieu, Pawleys Island, Litchfield Beach, and North Litchfield Beach (Figure 1). The survey did not include the City of Georgetown, which was surveyed from 1999-2000. A total of 105 properties were surveyed, encompassing approximately 149 individual buildings, structures, and sites. The survey area was approximately 1028 square miles, which included the entire county, except for the City of Georgetown. The purpose of the project is to compile a comprehensive inventory of historic landscapes and historic architectural resources in Georgetown County, outside of the City of Georgetown, which may be eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The project will also include an inventory of historic structures located in the rural, inland areas of the county that have not been previously surveyed as well as an examination of the extant rice fields. The project is funded by the Georgetown County Visitor’s Bureau, in conjunction with the South Carolina Department of Archives and History (SCDAH). The data compiled by the project is intended to help identify properties eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and to provide the Georgetown County Visitors Bureau, the County, and SCDAH with information needed to conduct preservation planning activities. The survey will also be used for promotion of economic incentives for rehabilitation, education, heritage tourism development, and local compliance with state and federal preservation and environmental laws." Funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant administered by the South Carolina State Historic Preservation Office and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
