1960 Map of Wadmalaw Island

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The tidal landscape of the South Carolina Lowcountry is defined here by the intricate branching of the Wadmalaw River and Bohicket Creek as they wind around Wadmalaw Island and Johns Island. In the early 1960s, this region maintained a largely rural character centered on water-bound commerce and transit via the Intracoastal Waterway. The presence of numerous small community centers like Wadmalaw Island Po and Oakgrove suggests a network of family farms and local gatherings. Significant educational and religious landmarks are scattered throughout the islands, including the Promised Land Sch and Jerusalem Ch. Along the northern edge, the Seaboard Atlantic Coast Line railroad and the Maybank Highway provided critical terrestrial links to the mainland for towns like Hollywood and Meggett, while coastal landings and sound-side points like Martins Point emphasize the area's continued reliance on the surrounding waters.
