2020 Map of Fort Moultrie

About this map

Fort Sumter National Monument and the historic grounds of Fort Moultrie anchor this coastal survey, where the harbor defenses of South Carolina meet the modern development of the Lowcountry. The map details the complex geography of the barrier islands, from the residential grids of Sullivans Island and the Isle of Palms to the expansive salt marshes and tidal reaches of Hamlin Sound and Copahee Sound. Inland, the suburban growth of Mount Pleasant is juxtaposed with significant cultural landmarks like the Charles Pinckney National Historic Site and the settlement of Snowden. This 2020 edition provides a clear view of the maritime infrastructure along the Intracoastal Waterway, including the Breach Inlet and the Thompson Memorial Bridge, illustrating how transportation networks have integrated these once-isolated islands into the greater Charleston metropolitan area.
