1919 Map of Bulls Island

USGS Topo · Published 1919

About this map

Bulls Island is the centerpiece of this coastal survey, revealing a landscape defined by intricate maritime waterways and early transportation routes. Just after the First World War, the island's interior was traversed by Old Fort Road, Lighthouse Road, and Avenue Road, indicating an organized presence near the Old Fort and the now-silent Bulls Bay L H (Abandoned). The surrounding marshes and sounds are deeply etched by tidal systems including Sewee Creek, Bulls Creek, and several family-named tributaries like Vanderhorst Creek and Belvedere Creek. This topographic record, produced by the Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army, provides an exact inventory of the barrier island's ridges and sloughs before modern changes, documenting the transition from a working maritime landscape to a preserved natural area.
