2011 Map of Cainhoy

About this map

The Wando River serves as the central artery for this South Carolina coastal landscape, where established settlements like Wando and Cainhoy sit alongside developing residential corridors. The map reveals a dense network of estuarine features including Cat Island, Goat Island, and Parker Island, woven together by a complex system of creeks such as French Quarter Creek and Toomer Creek. Local genealogy and land use are well-documented through numerous burial grounds, including Saint Thomas Cemetery, Wando Cemetery, and the McDowell Cemetery near the riverbank. Industrial and civic infrastructure is represented by the Huger Post Office, the East Cooper Airport, and the prominent Wando Lookout Tower. The shift from historical rural tracts to modern suburban planning is evident in the winding residential streets of Philip contrasted with the older crossings at Wando Bridge and Three Log Bridge.
