2024 Map of Wiggins

About this map

Wiggins and Chisholm sit within a coastal landscape defined by the intricate confluence of the Combahee River, Ashepoo River, and Chehaw River. This recent survey reveals a terrain dominated by expansive wetlands and tidal islands, including Warren Island and Big Island, separated by a maze of waterways like the Ashepoo Coosaw Cutoff and Schooner Channel. The presence of the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort in the southwest corner and the Intracoastal Waterway running through the Coosaw River highlights the region's contemporary strategic and maritime importance. Local landmarks such as Tar Bluff and Fields Point provide fixed terrestrial reference points amidst the shifting marshland, while historical land divisions are noted by the Colleton Co Beaufort Co line traversing the river channels.
