1944 Map of Wadmelaw Island

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Wadmelaw Island and its surrounding sea islands appear in this mid-century survey as a complex network of coastal hamlets and maritime infrastructure. The Seaboard Air Line railroad terminates near Meggett, serving a landscape where river transport remained vital at locations like Yonges Island and Rockville. The interior of the islands is dotted with community centers such as the Jerusalem Soc, while a dense system of rural education is visible through several labeled buildings including Brickhouse Sch, Sandhill Sch, and Hopkins Sch. Along the Atlantic Ocean coastline, Kiawah Island and Seabrook Island show a largely undeveloped state prior to modern resort expansion, though the Kiawaco Club is noted near the Bohicket Creek outlet. The map also records several local houses of worship, such as Enterprise Ch and St Johns Ch, anchoring the various small settlements.
