Broad, shallow, sandy terrace along Lake Waccamaw’s southern shoreline.  The gentle relief of this terrace creates a wide littoral zone.  Wide littoral zones are more floristically diverse and contain more available area for the establishment of aquatic macrophytes.  Alternatively, narrow littoral zones do not have much area for the establishment of aquatic macrophytes and are species-poor.  Aerial imagery obtained from NRCS Geospatial Data Gateway: https://gdg.sc.egov.usda.gov.  Map produced by Nathan Howell using ArcGis Desktop: Version 10.2.2.
