2014 Map of Hilton Head

About this map

Honey Horn Plantation and Shipyard Plantation anchor the landscape of this coastal barrier island, illustrating a modern geography deeply rooted in historical land divisions. The map reveals the intricate development of Hilton Head Island as it appeared in the early 21st century, where residential and resort communities like Palmetto Dunes and Indigo Run interface with the surrounding salt marshes and waterways. Cultural history is preserved in small pockets throughout the island, marked by several local burial grounds including Pope Cem, Drayton Cem, and the historic Baynard Tomb. Transportation and maritime safety features such as the Hilton Head Airport and the Hilton Head Rear Range indicate the island's dual role as a high-end destination and a significant waypoint along the Intracoastal Waterway. This detailed survey traces the complex network of private drives and public roads that replaced the island's once-isolated agricultural tracts.
