1948 Map of St. Helena Sound

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

St Helena Island and the complex salt marsh estuaries of the Lowcountry dominate this mid-century survey, based on aerial photography from the late 1930s. The landscape is a labyrinth of tidal passages including the Morgan River, Harbor River, and Story River, which carve through the dense marshland separating the major sea islands. On Hunting Island, a lone Tower stands near the coast, serving as a significant navigational landmark for the Atlantic Ocean approach.
