About this map

Capers Island and the surrounding barrier islands of Charleston County appear here in their early twentieth-century state, showing the complex network of tidal waterways and sounds that define this coastal landscape. Surveyed in 1918 by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the War Department, the map provides a high-resolution view of the shifting shorelines of Dewees Island and the Isle of Palms before modern coastal development.
