About this map

Lake Moultrie dominates the western landscape of this Berkeley County region, where the massive impoundment meets the established settlements of Bonneau and Macbeth. The coastline is defined by infrastructure and recreation, featuring the Jefferies Dam, the Canal Picnic Area, and Richardson Landing. This map reveals a complex hydrologic network where the reservoir's edge gives way to extensive wetlands, including Walker Swamp and Fox Swamp, which drain into meandering southern waterways like Wadboo Creek and Whiskinboo Creek.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites throughout the interior, from the Black Oak Cemetery near the lake to the Providence Cemetery in the east. The map records the local civil footprint at the start of the 2010s, noting the Bonneau Post Office and the Bonneau Fire Tower. Small communities like Harristown, Wilder, and Simpson Crossing are connected by a web of rural routes such as Tobacco Rd and Planters Ln, reflecting the area's agricultural and timber heritage.
