1919 Map of Bulls Island

USGS Topo · Published 1919

About this map

Bulls Island is the centerpiece of this 1918 coastal survey, revealing the intricate geography of the Charleston County shoreline before mid-century changes. The map documents a landscape defined by an complex network of tidal waterways, including Belvedere Creek, Vanderhorst Creek, and the wide expanse of Bulls Bay. For local historians and researchers, the island's interior is detailed with the routes of Old Fort Road and Lighthouse Road, which lead toward the shoreline's notable landmarks. A significant historical marker is the Bulls Bay L H (Abandoned) lighthouse on the island's northeastern tip, alongside the site of an Old Fort. The map's bathymetric details and vegetation shading distinguish between woods, brush, and marsh, providing a clear record of the barrier island's environment at the close of the Great War.
