2020 Map of Cainhoy

About this map

The Wando River dominates this coastal landscape, carving a wide path through the Lowcountry as it flows toward the Atlantic. To the north, the protected woodlands of the Francis Marion National Forest are crisscrossed by the extensive Tuxbury Horse Trail, preserving a large tract of undeveloped terrain. The map captures the suburban expansion of Mount Pleasant as it grows northward, contrasted with smaller established communities like Wando, Cainhoy, and Philip. For those researching local history, several burial sites are documented, including Saint Thomas Cem near Flagg Cr and the McDowell Cem in the Wando area. The integration of modern infrastructure is evident at the Mt Pleasant Regional Airport-Faison Field, while numerous smaller waterways such as Guerin Creek and Lachicotte Creek weave through the marshlands and tidal islands that define the river's edge.
