About this map

Wadmalaw Island and the neighboring sea islands dominate this maritime landscape where the North Edisto River meets the Atlantic Ocean. The settlement of Rockville sits along the Bohicket Cr, a historic gateway for coastal navigation near the modern residential developments of Seabrook Island. The map illustrates the transition from traditional riverfront life to modern coastal living, with established nodes like Rockland and Camp Saint Christopher anchoring the shoreline.

The complex network of tidal waterways, including Privateer Cr and Kiawah River, defines the geography of Johns Island and Kiawah Island. Cultural landmarks such as Bloody Point and Andell Bridge provide specific points of reference for local historians, while the shifting sands of the Deveaux Bank and Botany Bay Island reflect the dynamic nature of the South Carolina coast in the early twenty-first century.
