About this map

Wadmalaw Island serves as the centerpiece for this coastal landscape, defined by an intricate network of tidal creeks and marshes. The transition from the rural settlements of Hollywood and Meggett to the winding banks of the Bohicket Cr reveals a region deeply tied to its maritime environment. This modern survey documents the contemporary boundaries of agricultural lands and residential growth, while preserving the location of small, family-associated landmarks such as Parker Cem and Chaplin Cem.

Navigational arteries like the Intracoastal Waterway and the Stono River wrap around Johns Island and Yonges Island, where the Yonges Island Airport provides a small aviation hub for the local area. The terrain varies from the low-lying Church Flats to the elevations of Church Flats Bluff and Goshen Point, illustrating how the Lowcountry's geography dictates the placement of roads like Dixie Plantation Rd and small hamlets like Oakgrove.
