Capers Island and Dewees Island anchor this coastal survey, illustrating the complex geography of the South Carolina lowcountry. The land is defined by a series of barrier islands and marshy sounds, including Copahee Sound and Bullyard Sound, which separate the mainland from the Atlantic. The Intracoastal Waterway threads through these tidal environments, passing Mary Island as it provides a navigable corridor protected from the open ocean.
