Plantations of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

19" wide by 13" tall, giclee on cotton rag watercolor paper

Hilton Head has been a summer destination for many families for several generations.  But the island is also steeped in history.  This map describes the historic plantations where slaves planted and harvested some of the highest quality cotton ever grown:  Sea Island cotton.  We contrast the island's older geography with that developed in the 20th century.
