About this map

Wadmelaw Island and Johns Island dominate this coastal survey, where a network of tidal creeks and marshlands defined the early 20th-century landscape of Charleston County. The settlement at Legareville sits near the junction of Abbapoola Creek and the Stono River, representing a community structured around water access and rural education, as evidenced by the Legareville School and nearby Stone School.

The presence of multiple spiritual and social hubs, including Johns Island Church, Zion Church, and Mt Zion Church, indicates a well-established resident population even in the more secluded reaches of the lowcountry. Transportation relies on traditional routes like Fenwick Road and Inland Road, which connect scattered homesteads and landings such as Mullet Hall to the broader region before modern bridges transformed island access.
