About this map

The salt marshes and tidal estuaries of the South Carolina Lowcountry define this landscape as it appeared just before the mid-century, surveyed originally in 1918. Wadmalaw Island and Johns Island dominate the center of the sheet, connected by a network of waterways including Bohicket Creek and the Wadmalaw River. Rural life is marked by numerous small educational and spiritual centers such as Sandhill School, Jerusalem School, and Enterprise Church, alongside industrial footprints like the Crate Mill near the riverfront.
