1956 Map of Hilton Head

About this map

Hilton Head Island is captured here during a period of transition, showing the landscape before the heavy development of the late 20th century. The map highlights a community deeply rooted in its geography, with several churches and schools serving the local population, including the First African Ch and Central Oak Grove Ch. Military history is visible along the northeastern coast at the Fort Mitchell Site and the Fort Walker Ruin, guarding the entrance to Port Royal Sound.
