Cummings Point stands at the edge of the land on this coastal survey, marking a significant transition between the interior marshes and the open sea. Located on the eastern tip of James Island, this point overlooks the entry to Charleston Harbor, a critical maritime gateway for the South Carolina coast. The map illustrates the expansive offshore waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the maritime boundary of the United States of America. Primarily focused on the hydrography and shoreline of Charleston County, the sheet provides a clear look at the coastal geography of the Lowcountry just after the first decade of the millennium.
