About this map

Bull Island and the surrounding coastal marshlands define this survey of the South Carolina shoreline near Awendaw. The landscape is dominated by the intersection of protected wilderness and maritime history, with the Francis Marion National Forest meeting the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge. The map provides a detailed view of the island's interior road and trail network, including Old Fort Rd, Sheep Head Ridge Rd, and the Turkey Walk Trail.

Hydrological features such as Jack Creek, Big Pond, and Moccasin Pond indicate the complex ecosystem found on the barrier island, while the Intracoastal Waterway and Bulls Bay facilitate regional navigation. Genealogy researchers may find interest in the Wilson Cem located near the northern edge of the sheet. The map also captures specific landmarks like Northeast Point and the shoals of the Bull Breakers, which have long been critical for Atlantic mariners.
