2017 Map of Fort Moultrie

About this map

Fort Sumter National Monument and Fort Moultrie anchor the southern edge of this survey, guarding the entrance to Charleston Harbor. The map reveals a landscape defined by its defensive history and coastal geography, ranging from the colonial legacy of the Charles Pinckney National Historic Site and Palmetto Fort to the modern residential growth of Mount Pleasant. The intricate coastline of Gray Bay and Hamlin Sound is woven together by the Intracoastal Waterway, with the Thompson Memorial Bridge and Ben M Sawyer Memorial Bridge connecting the mainland to the barrier communities of Sullivans Island and the Isle of Palms. Local history is preserved in sites like the Confederate Cem and Venning Cem, while the interior shows the transition from marshlands and creeks like Horlbeck Creek to established neighborhoods and developments.
