About this map

The tidal landscape of the South Carolina Lowcountry is captured here in detail, centered on the complex intersection of islands and waterways south of Charleston. Johns Island dominates the central portion of the sheet, defined by a network of rural roads connecting settlements like Huskum Corner Cross Roads and Fenwick Crossroads. The map documents the persistent settlement patterns of the sea islands, from the inland reaches of Humbert Woods to the historic riverside location of Legareville near the Kiawah River.

Waterborne geography is the primary shaper of this region, with the Stono River and Bohicket Creek carving through the marshy terrain. The presence of smaller facilities like Hondarosa Airport and Pluff Mud Field Airport alongside the larger Charleston Executive Airport illustrates the modern transition of these traditional agricultural lands. To the southeast, the map reaches the coast at Folly Beach, showing the dynamic shoreline around Stono Inlet and Kiawah Island.
