2017 Map of Wiggins

About this map

Chisolm and the small settlement of Wiggins anchor this coastal landscape where the Combahee River and Chehaw River weave through a complex network of marshlands and tidal islands. The map highlights the significant water management and natural drainage patterns of the Lowcountry, with the Intracoastal Waterway cutting through the southern reach. The terrain is defined by its namesake islands and points, including Old Combahee Island, Gunboat Island, and Fields Point, which illustrate the shifting boundaries of the South Carolina coast. Inland, Wiggins Rd provides the primary access to the northern wetlands, while the southern section features named tracts like Keans Neck and Horse Island. This survey documents the preservation of this watery geography, including the Ashepoo Coosaw Cutoff and the numerous creeks like Social Hall Cr that drain into the larger river systems.
