About this map

Rockville and the surrounding Sea Islands landscape are defined by a complex network of tidal waterways and marshy peninsulas where the North Edisto River meets the Atlantic Ocean. This 2011 survey documents the dense residential development of Seabrook Island and its adjacent Seabrook Beach, contrasted against the preserved natural barrier systems of Botany Bay Island and Pockoy Island.

Navigation and coastal recreation are central to the area's identity, evidenced by the Bohicket Marina and the winding course of Bohicket Creek toward Andell Bridge. The map traces historical land divisions from Point Farm in the north down to Camp Saint Christopher on the southern tip of Seabrook. Notable features include the shifting sands of Deveaux Bank and the numerous named points and creeks, such as Bloody Point and Privateer Creek, which suggest a long maritime history along this stretch of the South Carolina coast.
