Description
This precisely drawn map of Charleston County, South Carolina shows the various roads under the direction of the local Sanitary and Drainage Commission. As such, it includes a wealth of information on regional topography and geographic features.
The dense, but surprisingly legible, image includes an interesting mix of pictorial elements, concise labeling and notable landmarks. Thirty points of interest (churches, historical sites, and public buildings) are identified in a table at the bottom corresponding to the grid border.
The map was drawn by the civil engineering firm John McGrady Co. and engraved by the Charleston Engraving Company. Printing was performed by the Walker, Evans, and Cogswell Company on behalf of the Charleston County Sanitary and Drainage Commission, under the direction of Chief Engineer E.D. Jervey.
