About this map

The coastal Lowcountry around Beaufort and Port Royal is defined by a complex network of saltwater passages and islands, including Ladies Island and Distant Island. This late-century survey documents the area's deep military and civic foundations, centered on the Marine Corps Air Station and the US Naval Reservation. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds and religious sites, such as the expansive Beaufort National Cemetery, Evergreen Cem, and Porter Chapel.

A notable historical landmark is the Ruins (Fort Frederick) located along the banks of the Beaufort River. The map highlights the transition from the historic town core near Pigeon Point to more suburban developments like Burton and Whitehall. Local education and health infrastructure are clearly marked through the Mather Sch, Battery Creek Sch, and the prominent U S Naval Hospital complex overlooking Battery Creek.
