About this map

The Pinopolis Peninsula juts into Lake Moultrie, a landscape defined by the massive dike and the Santee National Wildlife Refuge in the late 1950s. This survey captures Moncks Corner as the regional hub, showing its Courthouse, Hospital, and early Moncks Corner Municipal Airport. The low-lying terrain is dominated by the dense wetlands of Black Tom Bay and Bee Tree Bay, interspersed with small rural settlements like Whitesville and Murraysville.

Genealogists can find numerous country churches and burial grounds, including St Johns Ch, Appii Ch, and the Jackson Cem. Transportation is anchored by the Atlantic Coast Line and remnant traces of the past, such as the Old West Railroad Grade. The map reflects an era of transition where the Public Service Authority infrastructure and newer highways meet the traditional agrarian and swamp-land patterns of Berkeley County.
