About this map

Johns Island and its surrounding marshlands are defined by a complex network of tidal waterways and agricultural tradition as documented in this 2020 survey. The landscape is segmented by significant water bodies like the Kiawah River, Stono River, and the winding Abbapoola Creek, which carve through the low-lying terrain. Local development is concentrated in established communities such as Legareville, Fenwick Hills, and Cedar Springs, while the expansive Pluff Mud Field and Isinglass Swamp illustrate the persistent wetland character of the region.

Transport and infrastructure are anchored by the Charleston Executive Airport and Hondarosa Airport, serving the barrier island communities. The map provides clear evidence of the area's transition from rural parcels to more suburban street patterns, particularly evident around Fenwick Crossroads. Genealogists and historians can trace the continuity of land use from the northern reaches of Humbert Woods down to the coastal edges of Kiawah Island and Snake Island, where the Stono Inlet meets the sea.
