2011 Map of Huger

About this map

The settlement of Huger anchors this Berkeley County landscape, where the confluence of historic plantation grounds and modern conservation efforts is clearly visible. The map preserves the locations of several burial sites, including the Silk Hope Plantation Cemetery, Hyde Park Plantation Cemetery, and a Slave Cemetery near New Hope, offering critical documentation for genealogical research. The waterway network is dominated by the East Branch Cooper River and the Huger Creek drainage, which includes specialized water management features like the Hard Pinch Reserve, Leneigh Reserve, and the Turpentine Dam. These reserves and canals, such as the Hester Canal, reflect a long history of water control for agriculture and industry. Cultural landmarks like the Quinby Bridge and the Francis Marion Seed Shelter Orchard point to the area's ongoing significance as both a site of local history and specialized resource management.
