About this map

Dewees Island and the surrounding barrier islands define this coastal landscape, situated along the Intracoastal Waterway north of the Isle of Palms. The map details the intricate network of tidal channels and sounds that separate these landforms from the mainland, including Copahee Sound and Bullyard Sound. This 2020 survey documents the modern residential footprint and infrastructure of Whitehall Terrace and the northern reaches of the Island of Palms, where streets like Palm Blvd and Palmetto Dr provide access to the Atlantic shore.

Environmental conservation and natural shifts are evident in the preservation of Capers Island and the shifting shoals of Crab Bank. The intricate hydrography of the Lowcountry is captured through named passages like Santee Pass, Price Inlet, and Capers Inlet, illustrating the dynamic interface between the marshlands and the Atlantic Ocean. Local residential development on Dewees Island is mapped through named thoroughfares such as Old House Ln and Pelican Flight Dr.
