1921 Map of Chicora

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The Francis Marion Tomb lies north of the Santee Canal (Abandoned), anchoring a Berkeley County landscape defined by the winding Santee River and a complex network of swamps and bays. This 1919-1920 survey captures the region before the creation of modern reservoirs, showing a high density of rural institutions such as the Redeemer School, St Lukes Church, and the Oakland Club. The interior is dotted with distinct topographical "bays," including Bulltown Bay and Pigeon Bay, which dictated the layout of early roads like the Congaree Road. Small settlements like Eadytown, Ferguson, and Ophir are clearly mapped alongside river-dependent sites like Wilson Landing, reflecting an era of transition for the Lowcountry's hydraulic landscape and agricultural community.
