About this map

Cooper River and its intricate network of tidal creeks and marshes define this lowcountry landscape just north of the harbor. The presence of the US Naval Weapons Station and associated facilities like the US Naval Weapons Station Post Office highlights the military's long-standing footprint in this strategic coastal area. Further inland, established residential areas such as Charleston Farms, Dominion Hills, and the John C Calhoun Homes indicate the mid-century suburban expansion of the region.

Local history is preserved at the Yeamans Hall Plantation Cemetery, a reminder of the area's agricultural past before it was repurposed for naval use. Transport and trade along the waterways are evidenced by multiple historic access points, including Red Bank Landing and Yellow House Landing. The interior is dotted with numerous small bodies of water, such as Logan Pond, Brown Pond, and the artificially maintained Army Depot Pond Dam D-3475, reflecting the complex drainage and water management systems necessary for this low-lying terrain.
