1919 Map of Melgrove

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The Cooper River and Back River dominate this lowcountry landscape during the early twentieth century, defining a network of tidal reaches and landings crucial to the local economy. At the southern edge, the growth of North Charleston is visible, served by the Southern and Seaboard Air Line railroads. The map records several waterfront access points including Redbank Landing, Venning Landing, and Haulover Landing, highlighting the water-dependent nature of transport before the modern bridge system. Inland, the community structure is anchored by St Johns Church, Mary Ann Church, and No 6 School, providing a detailed look at the rural settlement patterns of Berkeley and Charleston counties. The extensive marshlands around Daniel Island and Thomas Island are intricately mapped, showing the complex web of creeks like Goose Creek and Beresford Creek that weave through the coastal islands.
