1958 Map of Cainhoy

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Wando River dominates this lowcountry landscape, carving a complex network of marshes and tidal creeks through the heart of the Francis Marion National Forest. During the late 1950s, the settlement at Cainhoy (Wando PO) served as a central point for the surrounding rural communities, connected to the western bank by the Wando Bridge and further north by the historic Ferry crossing at Clements Ferry Road. The map reveals a deep religious and social history through its numerous rural sanctuaries, including St Thomas Ch, St Pauls Ch, and Charity Ch. This river-dependent economy is evident in the transition from dense forest to the scattered islands like Cat Island and Paradise Island, where the terrain begins to break into the coastal estuaries near the Berkeley and Charleston county line.
