Geography

Georgetown is located at 33°22′3″N 79°17′38″W / 33.36750°N 79.29389°W / 33.36750; -79.29389 (33.367434, -79.293807).

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 7.2 square miles (19 km²), of which, 6.5 square miles (17 km²) of it is land and 0.6 square miles (1.6 km²) of it (8.79%) is water.

Winyah Bay was formed from a submergent or drowned coastline, i.e. the original rivers had a lower baseline, but either the ocean rose or the land sank, changing the landform and making a good location for a harbour. The rising of the ocean may have been due to melting of glacial ice at the end of the ice age.
