Cape Landing: US 17 By-Pass N @ Palmetto Point
Socastee combines Lowcountry roots with the fast-growing commercial character of the Grand Strand in a way that reflects its position between the Waccamaw River and Myrtle Beach. This unincorporated community in Horry County developed beside the Waccamaw, a tidal blackwater river that flows south toward Winyah Bay. Today, US 17 is one of its principal arterial corridors, lined with businesses and services extending toward the Market Common district. That district occupies land once used by Myrtle Beach Air Force Base, which closed in 1993. Socastee forms part of the continuous urban area around Myrtle Beach while retaining its own name and connection to the river.

Among the regions of the United States, South Carolina stands out for its sweep from the Atlantic coast and tidal Lowcountry to the foothills of the Blue Ridge. Its shoreline combines barrier islands, salt marshes and estuaries, with Charleston long established as one of the country’s important Atlantic port cities. Fort Sumter, in Charleston Harbor, is where the American Civil War began in 1861. Farther inland, Congaree National Park protects a notable expanse of old-growth bottomland hardwood forest, while Columbia serves as the state capital.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
