2017 Map of Bluffton

About this map

Bluffton and the surrounding Lowcountry wetlands are documented in this 2017 study, showing the established coastal communities of Hilton Head Island and its various subdivisions like Sea Pines and Lawton. The map traces the intricate water systems and islands that define the region, from the wide May River to smaller channels like Jarvis Cr and Broad Cr. A series of bridges, including the Karl Bowers Bridge and Wilton Graves Bridge, provide the vital links between the mainland and islands like Pinckney Island and Jenkins Island. For local historians and genealogists, the map is remarkably detailed regarding burial grounds, marking sites such as Stoney Cem, Jenkins Island Cem, and the Braddocks Point Cem near the southern tip of Sea Pines. The landscape is a complex mix of developed resort and residential areas alongside protected environments like Middle Marsh Island and Barataria Island.
