About this map

St Helena Island and its surrounding archipelago define this mid-century coastal landscape, dominated by a complex network of waterways including the Coosaw River and Morgan River. The map provides significant genealogical and social detail, highlighting the presence of Penn Community Services and the historic Brick Ch near the settlement of Frogmore. This area serves as a focal point for the island's community life, supported by numerous local institutions such as St Helena Sch and Ebenezer Ch.

The coastal geography is intricate, with numerous named islands like Polawana Island and Datha Island separated by tidal reaches such as Eddings Creek and Jenkins Creek. Rural life is evident through a high density of family and community landmarks, from Fuller Cem and Cedar Grove Cem to small points of access like County Landing on Ladies Creek. The transition from land to sea is marked by extensive tidal flats and marshes that weave between Morgan Island and Pine Island.
