This beautiful hand-colored antique coastal survey was made for the United States Coast Survey. This map covers the very important South Carolina coast from Hilton Head North. The surveys provide depth readings and notes on important coastal characteristics of the area mapped. The names of harbors, rivers, islands, channels, shoals, capes, inlets, and coastal towns are identified on the map. These charts show areas that have likely undergone significant changes due to modifications and recessions of coastal lands, making them fascinating to anyone interested in local geography and history.
