About this map

The Lowcountry landscape of Beaufort County is defined by a dense network of tidal rivers and marshy islands centered around Pritchardville and Palmetto Bluff. The meandering course of the New River and May River dominates the area, creating a complex series of landforms including May River Neck, Doughboy Island, and Crane Island. This 2011 survey documents a transition in land use, where established landings like Good Hope Landing and Glasgow Landing sit alongside newer residential developments indicated by a burgeoning street grid.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Bluffton Cemetery, Shad Cemetery, and Moreland Cemetery. These sites are scattered across the neck and near the riverbanks, reflecting the area's long history of rural settlement. The southern portion of the map highlights the proximity to the Intracoastal Waterway, with Daufuskie Landing serving as a key point of maritime access near the convergence of the Cooper River and Wright River.
