1956 Map of St. Helena Sound
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
St Helena Island and its intricate maritime landscape dominate this mid-century survey of the South Carolina coast. The map details the transition from the Coosaw River and Ashepoo River into the expansive St Helena Sound, where shifting sands create features like Pelican Bank and Egg Bank. Along the eastern edge of St Helena Island, the presence of Coffin Point Cem and Big House Cem provides essential touchpoints for genealogists researching the plantation-era history of the Coffin Point area.
