El establecimiento de Tidewater tiene escasos metros de elevación sobre el nivel del mar, convirtiendola una zona proclive a las inundaciones. Su población se compone de menos de un centenar de habitantes. La particularidad de esta comunidad es que es el último asentamiento conectado a una carretera (se conecta con la ruta "Tidewater Road"), aunque ahora este poblado cuente con muy pocos residentes.

Su principal actividad económica se lleva a cabo en una Planta aceitera y petrolera ubicada en Tidewater.[1]
