How to Use This Daufuskie Island, South Carolina Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Daufuskie Island, South Carolina. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of South Carolina or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Daufuskie Island.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Daufuskie Island defines itself through the slow, rhythmic encroachment of the Atlantic Ocean upon a shoreline of salt-bleached driftwood and tangled maritime forest. It lies 8.2 miles south of Bluffton, SC (from Bluffton, SC: bearing 182°T), and is situated 9.5 miles southwest of Hilton Head Island. The land sits low, a fragile shelf of sand and silt held together by the stubborn roots of palmettos and live oaks that lean permanently toward the water. Beyond the immediate canopy, the terrain flattens into expansive salt marshes that pulse with the tide, reflecting a sky that often turns the color of hammered pewter before a storm. While the horizon remains largely unbroken, the distant silhouette of Indigo Ridge creates a faint, hazy suggestion of elevation far to the west. In the humid air, the scent of brine and damp earth lingers, marking the boundary where the thickets surrender to the shifting dunes, a mere mile from the open sea.

Daufuskie Island retains a quiet, singular identity shaped by the enduring legacy of Gullah-Geechee culture, whose descendants have long cultivated the land and harvested the bounty of the nearby New River. Economic life here has evolved from the labor of early plantations and oyster canning to a modest, deliberate pace centered on small-scale tourism and local craft. To the north, the protected corridors of Turtle Island Wildlife Management Area provide a sanctuary for migratory birds and coastal fauna, preserving a wildness that feels increasingly rare. While the interior remains largely quiet, one might occasionally catch the reflection of the sun on the surface of Buoy Path Pond, a secluded freshwater anchor in the landscape. Life here moves according to the ferry schedule and the seasonal shift of the winds, favoring a solitude that respects the island’s history as much as its present quietude.
