About this map

The tidal marshes and barrier islands of the Lowcountry dominate this mid-century survey, where the Colleton River and Broad River converge amidst a complex network of creeks and sounds. Landings such as Fripp Landing, Pinckney Landing, and Copp Landing indicate the maritime connectivity of the era, providing essential access points to Spring Island and Callawassie Island before modern infrastructure transformed the region.

Social and cultural centers are marked by St Lukes Ch and Young Zion Ch, alongside the Manigault Neck cemetery, offering valuable data for genealogical research in Beaufort County. The map also delineates the Intracoastal Waterway as it winds through Pinckney Neck, reflecting the importance of this commercial and recreational artery. The landscape is characterized by extensive tidal flats and prominent landmarks like Chechessee Bluff, illustrating the natural geography prior to significant coastal development.
