About this map

Strawberry Chapel and the historic site of Childsbury stand as remnants of colonial-era settlement patterns along the West Branch Cooper River. This Lowcountry landscape is defined by the winding course of the Cooper River, where numerous former rice plantations are marked by surviving family and plantation cemeteries, including Parnassus Plantation and Medway Plantation. The northern reaches include a portion of the Francis Marion National Forest, where labels like Saw Mill and Wagonwheel Path suggest the enduring importance of the timber industry and rural transport networks.

In the southern corner, the modern growth of Goose Creek contrasts with the quiet river landings such as Cote Bas Landing and Moreland Landing. The map meticulously records the complex hydrology of the region, from the Bonnie Reserve to the numerous leads and branches that once supported a vast plantation economy. This document provides a detailed look at the geographic intersection of Berkeley County's early colonial history and its contemporary residential development.
