This is a highly unusual and rarely seen 1866 U.S. Coast Survey chart or map of the South Carolina coastline. Covers from St. Helena Bay to Charleston Harbor. Includes the North Edisto River, South Edisto River, Kiwah River, Stono River, Ashley River and Cooper River. Offers stunning inland detail identifying roads, farms, landings, and many individual buildings. Shows a detailed street grid for Charleston City. Nautically this map offers a wealth of practical information for the Mariner, including countless depth soundings and notes on light hoses, tides, shoals, and other undersea dangers. The Triangulation for this chart was completed by A.D. Bache, C. O. Boutelle, and C. P. Bolles. The topography is the work of S. A. Gilbert, J. Seib, R. M Bache, G. D. Wise., W. S. Edwards, and C. Rockwell. The hydrography was completed by a party under the command of J. N. Maffitt, J. P. Bankhead, and C. O. Boutelle. This chart was compiled under the supervision of A. D. Bache, one of the most influential Superintendents in the history of the Coast Survey. Published in the 1867 supplement to the 1866 edition of the Superintendent's Report .

What our customers are saying

★★★★★

I purchased an historic map, 16x24 inch. It is beautifully printed on heavy stock. The lettering, colors, and details of the map are crisp and easy to read. I am highly satisfied and would certainly purchase from Historic Pictoric again!

Ordered the Pan American Midway print to fit a lovely thrift-store gilded frame. I love showing off Buffalo's rich history and this is a pretty entertaining photo from 1901. Prompt shipping. Sturdy packaging.

I received my print within days of ordering, and it arrived well packed in a mailing tube. The print is high quality and exactly as advertised. I will use Historic Pictoric again in the future!

Excellent product. Great fidelity in reproduction of the original. Fine/minute details were sharp, colors were vibrant, and thickness, texture and overall feel and quality of the paper were excellent. Very satisfied with my purchase.

I have purchased six maps from Historic Pictoric. I find the quality to be excellent. Their customers service is also excellent. Outstanding! I called to exchange a few for different sizes and I could not have asked for a better experience.

★★★★★

The original map I ordered lacked some of the detail that I had hoped for, but they responded with several more map possibilities to choose from. Excellent service- a far step beyond what anyone expects from online purchases.

I am a owner of 5 maps from Historic Pictoric. From Okinawa, 1945, Europe 1940-1945 battle maps. Now they’re helping me with the battle of Gettysburg. These maps are so much superior to the map on a page in a book. I have framed two of them.

Great heavy paper quality and clarity of my nautical map. Will be a great addition to our home close to the beach!
