1988 Map of Wiggins

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Wiggins sits at the northern edge of this intricate coastal landscape, where the Combahee River and Chehaw River systems converge in a complex network of tidal channels and low-lying land. In the late 1980s, this area remained dominated by expansive marshlands and protected grounds, including the Bear Island State G M A. The map captures the meeting of the Colleton and Beaufort county lines amidst a scatter of islands such as the Chisolm Islands, Williman Islands, and Gunboat Island. Navigation is a central theme of the geography, with the Intracoastal Waterway and the Ashepoo-Coosaw Cutoff cutting through the natural bends of the Coosaw River. Small landings and settlements like Chisholm and Ainslee provide evidence of human activity tucked between the larger water bodies like the Old Chehaw River and Social Hall Cr.
