2014 Map of Sheldon

About this map

Sheldon and the surrounding Lowcountry marshlands define this coastal landscape where the Pocotaligo River meets the Broad River. The area is characterized by a complex network of islands and tidal passages, including Halls Island, Port Royal Island, and Brays Island. Local history is anchored by thoroughfares like Old Sheldon Church Rd and Stoney Creek Cemetery Rd, which hint at the region's deep colonial and ecclesiastical roots. The economy of the era is reflected in the path of CSX Transportation through the settlements of Seabrook and Coosaw. The presence of numerous named necks and points, such as Grahams Neck and Mackay Point, illustrates how the geography of the Tulifiny River and Coosawhatchie River shaped local development and transit. This survey offers a detailed view of the interaction between the land and the extensive waterways like Whale Branch and Haulover Creek.
