About this map

The East Branch Cooper River and West Branch Cooper River converge here, framing a landscape defined by historic river landings and former plantation sites. Settlement patterns reflect the long-standing maritime and agricultural heritage of Berkeley County, evidenced by numerous river access points such as Strawberry Landing, Hagan Landing, and Cote Bas Landing. The presence of Strawberry Chapel and the Strawberry Ferry Road underscores the area's importance as a colonial-era transit hub.

Mid-century land use is dominated by the sprawling U S Army Ordnance Depot (Liberty Hall) in the south and the Francis Marion National Forest to the north. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated in small communities and religious sites like Kittredge, Comingtee, and the Promised Land Ch, while the industrial connectivity of the Seaboard Air Line railroad cuts through the western terrain near Cypress Gardens.
