About this map

The Francis Marion National Forest dominates the inland landscape, where the northern reaches of Mount Pleasant meet the tidal marshes of the Lowcountry. This coastal environment is defined by the Intracoastal Waterway and the expansive waters of Sewee Bay, separated from the Atlantic by barrier features like Capers Island and Bull Island. Historic settlements such as Awendaw and Woodville are clustered along the N Us 17 corridor, which serves as the primary artery through this region of maritime forests and salt marshes.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Wappetow Cem near the junction of Hutchinson Rd, a quiet landmark amidst the changing rural landscape. The map details the intricate network of tidal creeks, including Clauson Cr and Alston Cr, which drain into the Wando River. Small communities like Ten Mile and Chandler appear as established residential pockets, while landings such as Moores Landing highlight the area's enduring connection to the waterfront.
