1960 Map of Edisto Island

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Edisto Island and its surrounding Sea Island archipelago are defined by a complex network of tidal waterways, including the North Edisto River and the South Edisto River. This 1960 survey reflects the rural, church-centered community structure of the era, documented through numerous local landmarks like Greater Calvary Ch, Mt Olive Ch, and Bethlehem Ch. The island’s social fabric is visible in the placement of the Edisto Island Library and schools such as Edwards Sch and Edisto Sch. Along the southern coast, Edisto Beach State Park and the nearby Edisto Beach oceanfront stand as established recreation areas. The interior landscape is a mosaic of marshes and cultivated land, connected by the Intracoastal Waterway at Watts Cut and historic points like Steamboat Landing. Smaller settlements such as Little Edisto and Freedman are preserved here, alongside family-named landmarks like Rabbits Pt and Peters Pt.
