1919 Map of Melgrove

About this map

The lowcountry landscape of South Carolina is defined by the winding course of the Cooper River and its intricate network of tidal creeks just after the First World War. Early development in North Charleston is visible in the lower southwest corner, where the Southern and Seaboard Air Line railroads converge near the industrial riverfront. This 1919 edition, published from a 1918 survey, shows a region still largely agricultural and maritime, characterized by numerous river landings such as Redbank Landing and Venning Landing. The geography is fragmented by water, including the Back River and its Slack Reach, creating significant landmasses like Daniel Island and Thomas Island. Community life is anchored by local institutions, notably St.Johns Church and Mary Ann Church, along with the No 6 School situated near the headwaters of Yellow House Creek.
