1948 Map of Johns Island

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Drayton Hall and Ashley Hall anchor this coastal landscape, situated along the north bank of the Ashley River. The map captures a critical nexus of South Carolina's riverine and rail geography, where the Atlantic Coast Line, Southern, and Seaboard Air Line railroads converge near the marshes of Johns Island. This era shows a transition in land use, from the legacy of major estates to active industrial sites like Bula Mines and the development of numerous small settlements including Nosbig, Melvin, and Wappoo. Evidence of colonial-era fortifications remains visible through labels for Fort Bull and several Old Fort locations along the river bends. This survey provides a distinct look at the ecclesiastical and educational infrastructure of the period, featuring St Andrews School No 10 and several prominent houses of worship like St Peters Church.
