About this map

The coastal village of Rockville sits at the confluence of several major waterways in this 1960s era topographic study. Located on Wadmalaw Island, the settlement serves as a gateway to the complex network of salt marshes and tidal creeks, including Bohicket Creek and the North Edisto River. The map details a landscape shaped by shifting sands and maritime history, featuring the expansive Seabrook Beach and the dynamic Deveaux Bank offshore.

On the eastern side, Sea Brook Island is mapped alongside Johns Island, where St Johns Ch and St Johns mark long-standing community centers. To the south, the barrier island transitions at Captain Sams Inlet and stretches toward Botany Bay Island. This survey captures the Lowcountry prior to extensive modern development, documenting established properties like Point of Pines and Point Farm, as well as local landmarks such as Camp St Christopher.
