When I visited this site in 2001, the radar tower was still standing.  Here is a view of the three tower foundations / footings.

The photo is looking SW; the diesel generator wing is seen in the foreground.

The view is similar to they 2001 photo below. The WikiMapia photo was taken sometime after the radar tower was removed.

The "front" of the former radar-equipment building, with the diesel-generator wing seen at the right rear. The site is situated at the Georgetown County Airport, on the west side of the runways near the airport entrance off US 17. The GFA is now used by the county mosquito-control department. The radar tower now supports meteorological equipment, e.g., an anemometer. [looking west]
