About this map

Plantation heritage and conservation lands define this portion of Berkeley County, where the Francis Marion National Forest encompasses much of the low-lying terrain. The landscape is marked by a deep genealogical record, particularly through numerous burial grounds such as the Silk Hope Plantation Cem, Hyde Park Plantation Cem, and a dedicated Slave Cem near New Hope. The East Branch Cooper River and its tributaries, including Huger Cr and Quimby Cr, form a complex hydrological network once vital to the region's agricultural economy.

Historical crossing points like the Quimby Bridge serve as landmarks near the settlement of Huger. The map provides a detailed view of these rural communities, including Old Joe, Smith, and Charity, alongside conservation areas like the Hard Pinch Reserve and Leneigh Reserve. These names preserve the spatial history of local families and former estates in a region defined by its blackwater creeks and coastal forests.
