1919 Map of Capers Island

USGS Topo · Published 1919

About this map

Videl Landing serves as a lone point of human infrastructure on this tidal landscape, marking the northern edge of Capers Island just before it meets Santee Pass. Surveyed during the final months of the First World War, this map documents the intricate barrier island systems of Charleston County before modern development transformed the shoreline. The intricate network of tidal waterways, including Copahee Sound and Bullyard Sound, reveals a complex environment of marshes and mudflats defined by the shifting currents of Capers Inlet and Dewees Inlet. Further south, the northern tip of the Isle of Palms is shown with its interior Alligator Pond, illustrating the natural state of these islands at a time when they were accessible primarily by water via routes like Seven Reaches and Morgan Cr.
