About this map

Dale and the surrounding marshlands of Beaufort County are defined by a complex network of tidal creeks and river channels near the South Carolina coast. The Coosaw River dominates the southern portion of the landscape, where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts past landmarks like Brickyard Point and Jack Island. To the north, the Combahee River and Wimbee Creek carve through the lowcountry, isolating numerous landmasses such as the Williman Islands and Chisholm Islands.

Settlement patterns follow the higher ground along rural routes, notably around the Lobeco Post Office and the small communities of Briars and Chisolms. Local place names like Honeybee Island Road and Backache Acres reflect the area's agricultural and geographic character. The map also documents engineered features of the modern landscape, including the South Carolina Noname 07003 D-2931 Dam on Branford Creek.
