About this map

Rockville sits at the heart of this coastal South Carolina landscape, positioned where Bohicket Creek meets the North Edisto River. This era of the Lowcountry reveals a network of barrier islands and tidal marshes, including Wadmalaw Island and Seabrook Island, defined by their proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. Local life is anchored by small settlements and rural landmarks such as Rockland, Point of Pines, and Little Rock Ch.

The map highlights the dynamic nature of the shoreline at Seabrook Beach and the shifting sands of Deveaux Bank. Maritime and community features like Camp St Christopher and St Johns Ch provide points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of Charleston County's islands. Waterways like Leadenwah Creek and Adams Creek carve through the landscape, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns that have historically shaped transport and agriculture in the region.
