2017 Map of Cordesville

About this map

Francis Marion National Forest dominates this Lowcountry landscape, where the West Branch Cooper River and the Tailrace Canal converge below the southern tip of Lake Moultrie. The map reveals a dense network of swampy waterways including Wadboo Cr and the historic route of the Old Santee Canal. This area is characterized by its legacy of large estates and early settlements, evidenced by numerous burial grounds such as Chachan Plantation Cem and Exeter Plantation Cem. The modern hub of Moncks Corner sits at the western edge, providing a stark contrast to the scattered rural communities like Cherry Hill and Old Cordesville to the east. Navigable water remains a central theme, from the industrial canal systems to the recreational Wadboo Creek Canoe Trail.
