2011 Map of Ladson

About this map

Goose Creek and the Ashley River corridor define the suburban landscape of the South Carolina Lowcountry at the start of the 21st century. This survey documents the significant density of residential developments such as Ladson Village, Windsor Hills, and Otranto as they expanded into formerly rural areas. The campus of Charleston Southern University stands as a central institutional landmark, alongside the massive footprint of the Charleston International Airport and the nearby US Air Force Golf Course. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial grounds including Saint James Goose Creek Cemetery and the Cherry Hill Cemetery. The infrastructure of the area is highlighted by the Goose Creek Reservoir and the Charleston Waterworks, essential to the growth of Hanahan and the surrounding Berkeley and Charleston County neighborhoods.
