1959 Map of Bull Island

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge dominates this coastal landscape, capturing a stretch of the South Carolina lowcountry defined by its dynamic barrier islands and tidal marshes. On Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge (Bull Island), a complex network of freshwater impoundments like Upper Summerhouse Pond and Moccasin Pond sits just behind the primary dunes, illustrating the delicate balance of coastal ecosystems. Evidence of human history is scattered across the island, from the landmark Lighthouse and Lookout Tower to the site of Fort Old and an old Cemetery. To the north, the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the marshes of the Francis Marion National Forest, where Wilson Cemetery and Sewe Camp mark the edge of the mainland. The map tracks the shifting sands of Bird Island Shoal and the expansive Tidal Flat areas that characterize Bulls Bay.
