2011 Map of Bethera

About this map

Bethera and the surrounding Berkeley County landscape are defined by a complex network of waterways and managed lands. The area is anchored by the Little Hellhole Reserve and Midway Reserve, where features like the Little Hellhole Dam and Back Dam reflect local water management. Notable landmarks include the Witherbee Lookout Tower near Witherbee and the Boggy Head Rifle Range to the east. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are identified, such as Berea Cemetery, Bethel Cemetery, and Reed Corner Cemetery. The map also traces the path of the Herberta Siding railroad spur and various creek crossings, including Nicholson Bridges and Gough Bridge. This era shows a transition in the use of the Lowcountry wetlands, with recreation and conservation sites like the Huger Recreation Area and Swamp Fox Trailhead integrated into the traditional settlement patterns of Limerick and Kensington.
