2020 Map of Huger

About this map

Francis Marion National Forest dominates this Berkeley County landscape, where the East Branch Cooper River and its numerous tributaries create a complex network of wetlands and swamps. The terrain is marked by significant plantation-era history, evidenced by the distribution of family and plantation burial grounds including Hyde Park Plantation Cem, Silk Hope Plantation Cem, and Richmond Plantation Cem. The map illustrates a transition from the deep woods and swamplands like King Swamp and Gobel Swamp to the small settlements of Huger and Charity. Water management and industrial history are visible through features like Hester Canal and various reserves such as the Upper Reserve and Lower Reserve, while Quinby Bridge serves as a key crossing point over Huger Creek. The extensive Swamp Fox/Palmetto Trail winds through the forest, connecting these historic sites.
