About this map

Legareville and the surrounding Sea Islands appear here in a landscape defined by tidal creeks and sprawling marshes west of Charleston. This coastal area is a complex network of waterways, including the Stono River, Kiawah River, and the branching Abbapoola Creek. The settlement patterns on Johns Island and James Island are clearly visible, showing residential growth at Fenwick Hills and Cedar Springs alongside the critical transport hubs of Hondarosa Airport and Charleston Executive Airport.

To the south, Kiawah Island and its landmarks like Cinder Point and Thumb Point face the Stono Inlet, while Folly Beach sits at the edge of the Atlantic. Historical footprints remain in the road network, such as Fort Trenholm Road, which hints at the strategic importance of this coastline. The map captures the delicate balance between the interior wetlands like Isinglass Swamp and the expanding infrastructure of the South Carolina coast in the early 21st century.
