The May River and Calibogue Sound define the intricate tidal geography of the Lowcountry in this 2011 survey, showing the transition from the mainland Bluffton settlement to the developed reaches of Hilton Head Island. The map records a landscape of modern residential growth alongside deep-rooted historical markers, such as Stoney Cemetery and Jenkins Island Cemetery. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts through Skull Creek, serving as a vital artery for maritime traffic near Windmill Harbor and Buckingham Landing. To the south, the planned communities of Sea Pines Plantation and Wexford Plantation surround critical coastal infrastructure like the Harbour Town Yacht Basin. The presence of numerous family and community burial grounds, including Lawton Cemetery and Haig Point Cemetery, provides essential data for genealogical research in a region where historical land use remains visible despite modern suburban expansion.
