2017 Map of Bull Island

About this map

Bull Island and the surrounding coastal marshlands define this section of the South Carolina shore, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the intricate estuaries of the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge. The island itself is crisscrossed by historic tracks like Old Fort Rd and Lighthouse Rd, serving as a barrier between the open sea and Bulls Bay. To the northwest, the edge of the Francis Marion National Forest contains the Wilson Cem, a significant point for local genealogical research near the Intracoastal Waterway. The landscape is dominated by freshwater and brackish features including Big Pond, Upper Summerhouse Pond, and Moccasin Pond, illustrating the fragile hydrological balance of this protected wilderness area. Maritime navigation is marked by Bird Island Shoal and the Bull Breakers along the shifting coast.
