2011 Map of Spring Island

About this map

Victoria Bluff and the winding reaches of the Colleton River dominate this coastal landscape at the start of the 2010s. The map illustrates a complex network of tidal waterways and marsh-fronted islands, including the namesake Spring Island and Callawassie Island. Historic landings such as Fripp Landing, Pinckney Landing, and Copp Landing indicate a long-standing reliance on water access for the various necks of land, while the G G Dowling Bridge provides a modern highway link over the Chechessee River. To the south, emerging residential development is evident in the street grids near Victoria Bluff and the Sawmill Creek drainage, contrasting with the undeveloped expanses of Pinckney Island and Daws Island. Small settlements like Riverdale and Edwards sit near the northern and central reaches, while the Intracoastal Waterway skirts the southeastern edge along Skull Cr.
