About this map

The confluence of the West Branch Cooper River and East Branch Cooper River anchors this mid-century landscape in Berkeley County. The area, known as The Tee, is defined by its deep historical roots and river-oriented layout, featuring prominent landings such as Strawberry Landing and Hagan Landing. Significant cultural sites like the colonial-era Strawberry Chapel and the nearby Childsbury settlement site reflect the early development of the region's plantation economy.

Infrastructure shifts are visible through the presence of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and the U S Naval Reservation at the southern edge. Local genealogy is supported by the locations of family-named settlements like Rice Hope, Comingtee, and Moreland, along with rural institutions like the Promised Land School and Sawmill School. Much of the eastern territory is protected within the Francis Marion National Forest, preserving the wooded character of the Chipper Swamp and French Quarter Creek basins.
