About this map

Bulls Bay and the salt marshes of the South Carolina coast dominate this coastal survey, where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through a complex network of tidal creeks. The settlement pattern follows the historic corridor of Old Georgetown Rd, connecting the communities of Awendaw, Pineland, and Tibwin. The landscape is a transition from upland pine forests to the maritime edges of the Atlantic, defined by the winding course of Awendaw Creek as it flows toward the bay.

Local history is anchored by significant landholdings and public spaces like the Laurel Hill Plantation and the Buck Hall Recreation Area near Buck Hall. Researchers can trace the modern road network, including Doar Rd and Laurel Hill Plantation Rd, alongside natural features such as Morants Point and the White Banks shoals. The map reveals the relationship between traditional coastal settlements and the protected waterways that have shaped Charleston County's maritime economy for generations.
