1959 Map of Legareville

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The sea islands of coastal South Carolina appear here during a period of transition in the mid-twentieth century, dominated by the massive landmass of Johns Island and the neighboring Wadmalaw Island. The map records a landscape of tidal waterways like the Stono River and Kiawah River, where large tracts of Plowed Ground hint at the area's agricultural character. Local community life is anchored by a dense network of country churches and schools, including St James Ch, St Johns High Sch, and Mt Zion Sch. Settlements such as Fenwick Crossroads and the riverfront Legareville serve as focal points along the rural road system, while the Johns Island Lookout Tower and Johns Island Airport reflect contemporary infrastructure. The complex hydrology of the Lowcountry is visible in the numerous smaller channels like Abbapoola Creek and Bohicket Creek, which thread through the marshes and hammocks.
