1956 Map of St. Phillips Island

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

St Helena Island dominates this mid-century coastal survey, showcasing a complex network of marshes and tidal creeks that define the South Carolina Lowcountry. The landscape is marked by historic family settlements and community sites such as Orange Grove, Longwood, and Scott. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous burial grounds including Orange Grove Cem, Pritchard Cem, and Frogmore Cem, alongside the Orange Grove Ch. The intricate hydrology of the area is visible through major passages like Trenchards Inlet and Station Creek, which separate the mainland from barrier features like St Phillips Island and Pritchards Island. This 1956 documentation captures the area before modern development, preserving the locations of the Beaufort County Landing and family-named roads like Seaside Road and Lands End Rd that provided the primary access to these isolated island communities.
