1958 Map of Fripps Inlet

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Hunting Island State Park and the surrounding barrier islands dominate this coastal survey, which documents the shoreline during the late 1950s with updates into the late 1970s. The map illustrates a complex network of tidal waterways, including Harbor River and Story River, which separate the mainland marsh from the sandy reaches of Hunting Island and Fripps Island. This environment is defined by its shifting sands and inlets, specifically where Fripps Inlet meets the Atlantic Ocean. The data provides a detailed record of the topography and hydrography before significant modern development altered these shores. Coastal researchers can examine the intricate drainage of Old House Creek and Johnson Creek, which weave through Old Island and Harbor Island, revealing the natural state of the Lowcountry coast during this period of transition.
