About this map

Saint Helena Island and the surrounding barrier islands define this coastal landscape, where intricate waterways like Station Creek and Harbor River carve through the marshlands. Small settlements at Scott and Longwood sit amidst a network of rural roads such as Orange Grove Rd and Seaside Rd. The map reveals a dense concentration of family and community burial sites, including Frogmore Cem, Orange Grove Cem, and Tombee Cem, which serve as vital markers of local heritage and genealogy on the islands.

Moving toward the Atlantic Ocean, the terrain breaks into distinct landmasses like Pritchards Island, Capers Island, and Saint Phillips Island. The presence of landmarks like Bull Point and the complex tidal system of Trenchards Inlet highlights the dynamic nature of the South Carolina Lowcountry. This survey documents the intersection of established island communities and the shifting coastal environment during the early 21st century.
