Pawleys Island

My sister-in-law used to vacation in Pawleys Island growing up, so I made this map for her. I got really aggressive with trying to detail all the houses and docks. Ultimately, this led to my biggest geography lie so far. A solid 25% of the southern thin portion of the item was truncated to make it fit on the map.
