1945 Map of Bluffton
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
The coastal marshlands and sea islands of the South Carolina and Georgia border are captured here just as World War II came to a close. Centered on the intricate waterways of Calibogue Sound and the May River, the map reveals a maritime landscape defined by tidal creeks and isolated island communities. On Hilton Head Island, small settlements like Spanish Wells and Hickory Bluff are visible long before modern resort development, while the mainland village of Bluffton sits perched above the river. An Oyster Packing Plant on Mackay Creek points to the region's mid-century reliance on the harvest of the sea.
