About this map

Cooper River dominates this 1918 survey, its winding path defining the commercial and social geography of the South Carolina lowcountry just after the First World War. The map captures the industrial emergence of North Charleston in the south, while the northern reaches maintain a landscape of plantations and landings. Transportation is transitioning from river-based commerce at sites like Redbank Landing and Haulover Landing toward the iron rails of the Seaboard Air Line and Southern railroads. Local life is anchored by community landmarks such as St Johns Church, Mary Ann Church, and the No 6 School. The intricate network of tidal waterways, including Back Slack Reach and Clouter Creek, highlights the complex watery landscape between the mainland and islands like Daniel Island and Thomas Island.
