Edisto Island and the coastal community of Edisto Beach occupy the northern reaches of this map, where the Lowcountry marsh meets the Atlantic Ocean. The settlement is defined by a dense network of residential streets such as Palmetto Blvd and Jungle Rd, situated between the beach and the tidal waters of Big Bay Cr. At the southern tip of the island, Bay Point overlooks the wide South Edisto Inlet, a key maritime passage where Colleton County meets Beaufort County. The map highlights the area's intricate coastal geography, from the interior heights of Oristo Ridge and The Mound to the secluded expanse of Pine Island across the inlet. This survey preserves the modern configuration of this barrier island landscape, showing the extent of shoreline development and the protected maritime environment before the shifting sands of the South Carolina coast further alter the terrain.
