About this map

Johns Island and Wadmalaw Island dominate this coastal landscape, separated by the winding path of Church Creek and Bohicket Creek. At this time, the region is characterized by large tracts of woods and brush, with agricultural activity visible along Plowed Ground Road and River Road. The settlement of Legareville sits near the marshes of the Stono River, supported by its own local Legareville School.

Social centers for the rural population are concentrated at several houses of worship, including Johns Island Church, Zion Church, and Mt Zion Church. The network of educational sites like Sandhill School and Stono School suggests a community organized around family homesteads and local farming. Extensive marshlands and waterways define the southern edge of the survey, leading toward Stono Inlet and Kiawah Island.
