2011 Map of Legareville

About this map

Legareville and the southern reaches of Johns Island are defined by a complex network of coastal waterways including the Stono River and the Kiawah River. This 2011 survey documents a landscape of established island communities like Seven Oaks, Stafford Heights, and Fenwick Hills, where modern residential development meets older rural crossroads. Significant local landmarks such as the Johns Island Post Office and Johns Island Lookout Tower provide anchors for the community, while the presence of the Charleston Executive Airport and the W B Upshur Private Airport highlights the area's role in regional aviation. The map reveals a transition from these hubs to the marshy periphery, where names like Huskum Corner Cross Roads and Miller Hill hint at the island's long history of settlement. Tracing the courses of Abbapoola Creek and Bohicket Creek offers insights into the historical reliance on these tidal arteries for transportation and commerce long before the modern expansion of River Road.
