1940 Map of Melgrove

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Cooper River and its intricate network of tidal creeks dominate this coastal landscape at the start of the 1940s. The emerging industrial and residential layout of North Charleston contrasts with the rural character of the surrounding lowcountry, where established river landings like Redbank Landing and Haulover Landing speak to a long history of water-based transport. The map captures a moment of transition, showing the Southern railroad line passing through Inness Sta near the settlement of Melgrove, while large tracts like Bushy Park and Daniel Island remain largely undeveloped. Genealogists will find value in the specific locations of local landmarks such as St Johns Ch, Mary Ann Ch, and the No 6 School, which served the dispersed communities along Cainhoy Road and Clements Ferry Road.
