2014 Map of Wadmalaw Island

About this map

Wadmalaw Island and the neighboring sea island communities are defined by a complex network of tidal waterways, including the Wadmalaw River and Bohicket Creek. In this modern topographic survey, the landscape reveals a mixture of agricultural heritage and residential growth along the Intracoastal Waterway. The layout of large tracts like Dixie Plantation Rd and Stono Plantation Dr reflects the deep-rooted land use patterns of the South Carolina Lowcountry. Smaller settlements such as Meggett, Hollywood, and Yonges Island anchor the western portion of the map, while New Cut Landing and Goshen Point mark significant points along the interior reaches of the Stono River. For local historians and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for family landmarks and burial sites like Chaplin Cem and Parker Cem, situated amidst a coastal environment of bluffs and marshlands like Church Flats Bluff and Martins Point.
