1956 Map of Hilton Head

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Hilton Island appears here in the mid-1950s, revealing a landscape of maritime forests and salt marshes just as it stood before the onset of modern resort development. The island's geography is defined by the deep incisions of Broad Creek and Jarvis Creek, which create a complex network of wetlands that separate the interior from the Atlantic Ocean and Port Royal Sound. This period captures several significant cultural landmarks, including the First African Ch and Queen Chapel, alongside military remnants like the Fort Mitchell Site and Fort Walker Ruin.
