Historic Map : U.S. Coast Survey Map of Charleston, Edistio Rivers, St. Helena Sound, South Carolina, 1913, Vintage Wall Art

A scarce 1913 U.S. Coast Survey nautical chart or maritime map South Carolina. The map covers from Charleston Harbor to the St. Helena Sound, including the North edisto River and South edisto River. The chart offers a wealth of detail including impressive inland detail and countless depth soundings. Shading further highlights shallow areas along the coasts - where instead of fathoms, all sounding are represented in feet for greater accuracy. Various towns and cities are noted including Charleston, Moultrieville and Legareville. The upper right quadrant offers a wealth of practical information for the mariner, including notes on tides, lighthouses, and soundings.
