2011 Map of Sheldon

About this map

Sheldon and its surroundings in northern Beaufort County are defined by a complex network of tidal waterways and agricultural land. The inland landscape is crossed by historically significant routes like Old Sheldon Church Rd and Stoney Creek Cemetery Rd, names that hint at the colonial-era foundations of this coastal region. The Sheldon Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark near the settlement center. Moving south toward the coast, the terrain breaks into numerous points and islands, including Mackay Point and Brays Island, as the land gives way to the Broad River and the Whale Branch. The presence of the Seabrook Post Office and small clusters at Fairview and Gardens Corner illustrate the dispersed, rural character of the Lowcountry at the start of the 21st century.
