1956 Map of St. Phillips Island

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The coastal marshes and barrier islands of Beaufort County are captured in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by tidal inlets and maritime settlement. Centered on the complex hydrography of Station Creek and Trenchards Inlet, the map details a world where land and water are inextricably linked. On St Helena Island, family history is preserved through numerous small burial grounds including Pritchard Cem, Perry Cem, and Frogmore Cem. The presence of Orange Grove Ch and the Beaufort County Landing suggests a community oriented toward both faith and the water. The intricate network of waterways like Story Creek and Skull Inlet surrounding St Phillips Island highlights the navigational challenges and natural isolation of the South Carolina Lowcountry before modern development transformed many of its neighboring islands.
