2011 Map of Cordesville

About this map

Biggin Cemetery and Stony Landing sit at the western edge of this Berkeley County landscape, where the waters of Lake Moultrie flow into the Tailrace Canal. The geography is defined by the historical legacy of the Lowcountry plantation economy, evidenced by a concentration of significant burial grounds including the Chachan Plantation Cemetery, Lewisfield Plantation Cemetery, and Exeter Plantation Cemetery. The hydrology of the region is intricate, with Wadboo Creek and Mepkin Creek winding through the terrain toward the West Branch Cooper River. Small communities such as Santee Circle, Cherry Hill, and Old Cordesville are connected by a network of rural roads and bridges, including the Mepkin Bridge and Wadboo Bridge, reflecting the enduring settlement patterns of this coastal plain region.
