1948 Map of Johns Island

About this map

The Stono River and Ashley River define this coastal landscape just west of Charleston, where the transition from plantation estates to early mid-century infrastructure is clearly visible. Historic landmarks like Drayton Hall and Ashley Hall sit alongside newer developments, while the remnants of Fort Bull and multiple sites labeled Old Fort point to the region's long-standing strategic value. The area is heavily intersected by major rail lines including the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line, which facilitated the local economy alongside the Bula Mines.
