1958 Map of Johns Island

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Ashley River and Stono River define the intricate waterways of this coastal South Carolina landscape, where industrial phosphate extraction and academic agriculture meet centuries of history. Numerous Strip Mines flank the upper reaches of the Ashley, evidence of the region’s intensive mining era, while the U S Department of Agriculture Experiment Farm and Clemson College Experiment Farm occupy significant acreage in the center of the sheet. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and the Savannah Highway, with established communities like Drayton and Maryville neighboring historic landmarks such as Drayton Hall and the earthworks of Fort Bull. On Johns Island, small rail stations like Stono Sta and Limehouse Sta reflect the transit-oriented rural economy of the mid-20th century before the full expansion of North Charleston began to alter the suburban fringe.
