2011 Map of Bennetts Point

About this map

Bennetts Point and its associated lowcountry islands sit at the confluence of the Ashepoo River and the South Edisto River in this coastal South Carolina study. This labyrinth of tidal waterways is dominated by significant landmasses like Bear Island, Musselboro Island, and Hutchinson Island, which are separated by a complex network of smaller channels including Mosquito Creek and Crooked Creek. The map shows the path of the Intracoastal Waterway as it winds through these estuaries toward St Helena Sound at the southern edge. Human activity is concentrated along specific access points such as Pine Landing and Seabrook, connected by local routes like Bennetts Point Rd and Baldwin Ln. The landscape is characterized by its marshy island geography, featuring interestingly named locations like Hole-in-the-Wall and the Settlement Islands, reflecting a long history of maritime navigation and isolated coastal living.
