1958 Map of Johns Island

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Drayton Hall and the historic estate of Magnolia Gardens stand along the Ashley River, anchoring a landscape transitioning from rural estates to suburban expansion. The 1979 revisions highlight significant growth in Saint Andrews and North Charleston, where residential developments like Wando Woods and Waylyn fill the spaces between the river and the Southern Railway. Public and institutional land use is prominent, including the Clemson College Experiment Farm and the County Prison Farm. Near Cowhead Reach and Wappoo Creek, the map details a complex coastal geography of marshes and islands, including Johns Island and James Island. This survey captures the mid-century infrastructure of the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad alongside local landmarks like Fort Bull and several community churches such as Lovely Hill Ch and St Phillips Ch.
