About this map

Bluffton and Palmetto Bluff anchor this coastal survey, where the maritime landscape of the South Carolina Lowcountry is defined by the winding course of the May River. The map illustrates a complex network of waterways and islands, including the northern tip of Daufuskie Island and the busy Intracoastal Waterway. To the west, the inland settlements of Pritchardville and Pritchard show significant modern residential development, with street names like New Riverside Dr and Heritage Pkwy tracing the area's growth.

Local history and genealogy are preserved through small burial grounds such as Cook Landing Cem, Moreland Cem, and Shad Cem. Near the settlement of Cummingsville, the presence of the Cummingsville Cem provides a point of interest for researchers tracking family lineages in Beaufort County. The map's detailed hydrography, from Shoe Quarter Swamp to the Cooper River, reveals the tidal nature of the terrain between the mainland and islands like Bluff Island and Crane Island.
