1919 Map of Fort Moultrie

USGS Topo · Published 1919

About this map

Fort Moultrie and the tactical landscape of the South Carolina coast dominate this 1918 survey, which was conducted in cooperation with the War Department. The map documents the intricate barrier island geography from Sullivans Island to Isle of Palms, detailing the military presence at the U.S. Rifle Range and the historic Fort Sumter at the edge of the Hog Island Channel. Inland, the rural character of Charleston County is preserved through its early 20th-century educational and religious landmarks, including Long Point School, Fourmile School, and Christ Church. The transition from the established settlement at Mt Pleasant to the salt marshes of Hamlin Sound is marked by the winding paths of Hobcaw Creek and Shem Creek, illustrating a maritime economy reliant on tidal reaches like Seven Reaches and Goat Island Reach before the era of intensive coastal development.
