About this map

Adams Run and the surrounding Lowcountry wetlands of Charleston County are defined by a complex network of tidal creeks and low-lying islands. This coastal landscape is dominated by the Toogoodoo Cr and its various branches, which wind past the established settlements of Meggett and Barrelville. The geography reveals a legacy of land use where maritime access was paramount, evidenced by the path of the Intracoastal Waterway as it transitions through the Dawho River and Wadmalaw River.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks such as Prices Cem and the Dawho Bridge, along with named islands like Slann Island, Whooping Island, and Jehossee Island. The map also captures modern infrastructure including the Too Goo Doo Farms Airport near Gibson, and the residential character of Hollywood and Baptist Hill at the northern edge of the quadrangle. Significant wetland areas such as Riley Bay and Big Bay illustrate the environmental character of the South Carolina coast in the early 21st century.
