1959 Map of Fort Moultrie

About this map

Fort Moultrie and the surrounding coastal defense landscape dominate the entrance to Charleston Harbor in this mid-century survey. The map details the transition from the established settlement at Mount Pleasant to the barrier island communities of Sullivans Island and Isle of Palms, connected via the Thompson Memorial Bridge. Inland, the area shows a rural character evolving along the Ocean Highway, where historic sites like Christ Church and Snowden stand near the tidal marshes of Hamlin Creek and Boone Hall Creek.
