About this map

Isle of Palms and Dewees Island anchor this coastal survey, where the intricate network of the South Carolina Lowcountry meets the Atlantic. The landscape is defined by its barrier islands and the shifting tidal waters of Capers Inlet and Dewees Inlet. Along the northern edge of the Isle of Palms, residential development is traced by streets like Palm Blvd and Palmetto Dr, while Dewees Island remains characterized by more secluded paths such as Pelican Flight Dr.

Navigational channels like the Intracoastal Waterway and Seven Reaches provide passage behind the barrier islands, separating the developed shore from landforms like Crab Bank and Big Hill Marsh. The transition from the settled areas of Island of Palms to the protected expanse of Capers Island illustrates the region's balance between coastal habitation and preserved marshland ecosystems in Charleston Co.
