2020 Map of Kiawah Island OE E

About this map

Stono Inlet serves as a focal point where the sea meets the coastal margins of South Carolina in this 2020 topographic rendering. The map primarily captures the expansive waters of the Atlantic Ocean, offering a distinct perspective on the offshore environment south of the state’s famous barrier islands. On the northwestern edge of the sheet, the land transitions into the marshy and sandy reaches of Kiawah Island and Folly Beach. This specific quadrangle detail is particularly useful for understanding the modern shoreline and maritime boundary near Sandy Point. Unlike traditional inland maps, this survey emphasizes the coastal shelf and the approach to the inlets that define the Lowcountry's dynamic relationship with the ocean.
