I found nothing listed for the WPA ditch in Murrells Inlet,SC. The ditch runs from Murrells Inlet Road to Flagg Street. The ditch is adjacent to the Chandler property. According to Joe Chandler his father helped build the ditch for the WPA during the Great Depression. The land was donated by the Chandler family.
