2017 Map of James Island OE E

About this map

Morris Island and Cummings Point mark the limited terrestrial presence on this coastal survey, where the land meets the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. Situated in Charleston County, this map primarily documents the maritime boundary and the shifting coastal geography of the islands that guard the approach to the harbor. The lack of inland development on these features emphasizes their role as natural barriers and points of historical significance on the South Carolina coast. This 2017 edition provides a modern topographic baseline for these sensitive barrier island environments, tracing the shoreline as it existed in the mid-2010s.
