2017 Map of Johns Island

About this map

The Ashley River and Stono River define this coastal landscape near the junction of North Charleston and the sea islands during the late 2010s. This survey documents the densely packed residential expansion across Johns Island and the mainland, where suburban neighborhoods like Wando Woods and Sherwood Forest meet tidal marshes and historical sites. The influence of the Intracoastal Waterway is evident through significant engineering features like the Limehouse Bridge and Elliott Cut, which facilitate navigation through the lowcountry terrain. Smaller waterways such as Bulls Cr and Macbeth Cr weave between established communities, including Drayton and Maryville. The map also captures several transit-related landmarks from the area's development, including Dupont Station and Stono Station, alongside the sprawling grounds of Live Oak Memorial Gardens. To the northwest, the protected wetlands of the Bear Swamp Division provide a sharp contrast to the industrial and commercial corridors of North Charleston.
