1960 Map of Bennetts Point

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Bear Island Game Management Area dominates this coastal landscape, where the Lowcountry's intricate network of tidal creeks and islands meets the sea. This 1960 survey captures a maritime environment defined by the confluence of the South Edisto River, Ashepoo River, and Coosaw River as they drain into St Helena Sound. The small fishing community at Bennetts Point serves as a primary hub, complete with the Bennetts Point Sch and nearby Samaritan Ch. Navigation is central to the area's geography, marked by the prominent route of the Intracostal Waterway and various cuts like Fenwick Cut and Watts Cut Light. Large landmasses such as Jehossee Island and Hutchinson Island are separated by labyrinthine waterways including Musselboro Creek and Alligator Creek, reflecting a traditional coastal economy of fishing, landings, and wildlife management before modern development.
