CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA
STS073-706-009
Charleston, South Carolina, U.S.A. October 1995
The highly reflective central business district of downtown Charleston
is discernible on a peninsula between two rivers—the Cooper River to
the east and the Ashley River to the northwest. This synoptic photograph
of Charleston and its coastal environs provides a physical picture of the
wetlands that extend northeast-southwest, creating tidal marshes and a
swampy landscape in a narrow belt along the coast. The darker terrain
east of the Cooper River is Francis Marion National Forest. The active
coastal currents are evidenced by the mixing water patterns along the
coast and the plume that extends seaward from Charleston Harbor.
