About this map

Kiawah Island and the southern reaches of Johns Island dominate this coastal survey, where the intricate network of tidal waterways meets the Atlantic. The landscape is defined by the Kiawah River and a series of salt marshes, with prominent landforms like Shullbred Point and Eagle Point marking the transition from marsh to firm ground. Development patterns by 2014 show a highly specialized residential and recreational layout, including the Kiawah Island Club Dr and the world-renowned Ocean Course Dr area near Sandy Point.

The map reveals a carefully planned coastal community, where winding roads like Bufflehead Dr and Sea Forest Dr weave through maritime forests and dunes. Small creek systems such as Bass Creek and Cinder Cr segment the island, creating isolated pockets like Summer Islands Ln. This topographic record provides a detailed look at the island's modern footprint, from the beachfront along Eugenia Ave to the northern docks at Rhett's Bluff Rd.
