2020 Map of Cordesville

About this map

The Francis Marion National Forest dominates this landscape of low-lying wetlands and historic watercourses in Berkeley County. The area is defined by the legacy of the low country's agricultural past, evidenced by the clustered burial grounds including Lewisfield Plantation Cem, Exeter Plantation Cem, and Ghachan Plantation Cem. Water management is a primary feature, shown through the modern Tailrace Canal and the remnants of the Old Santee Canal near the town of Moncks Corner. Further south, the West Branch Cooper River and its tributaries like Mepkin Cr snake through a terrain of swamps and bays, including the distinct Vanilla Bay. Modern settlements such as Cordesville and Santee Circle are connected by a network of rural roads that cross major waterways at landmarks like Wadboo Bridge and Mepkin Bridge.
