2017 Map of Pritchardville

About this map

Bluffton and the surrounding Lowcountry wetlands define this coastal survey, where the intricate network of the May River and New River carves through the landscape. The geography is characterized by numerous named islands and necks, including May River Neck, Doughboy Island, and Daufuskie Island, reflecting the tidewater nature of Beaufort County. The map documents the persistent connection between the land and sea, tracing the Intracoastal Waterway as it passes Page Island and Pine Island. Local heritage is anchored by several family and community burial sites, such as Cook Landing Cem and Shad Cem, which provide specific points of interest for genealogists. The transition from established settlements like Pritchardville to the sprawling marshes of Shoe Quarter Swamp illustrates the varied terrain of the South Carolina coast in the early 21st century.
