1943 Map of Capers Island

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Capers Island and Dewees Island anchor this coastal survey, which details the intricate marshlands and tidal waterways of the South Carolina Lowcountry during the early 1940s. The landscape is defined by the dynamic movement of water through passages like Capers Inlet and Dewees Inlet, separating the barrier islands from the mainland marshes. Further inland, the map traces the winding paths of Toomer Creek and Whiteside Creek as they feed into the expansive Bullyard Sound. This era of the shoreline shows the northern reach of the Isle of Palms before mid-century development transformed the region. The map captures a transition point in coastal geography, documenting features like Santee Pass and Seven Reaches as they appeared just after being revised from 1941 aerial photography.
