DESCRIPTION

A detailed chart of Maffitt's Channel at Sullivan's Island, Charleston Harbor. Numerous soundings, bathymetry, and lines of deepest water show the dynamic nature of the channel. Bottom profiles from various years are shown at the bottom half of the map.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane, and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low-quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
