About this map

The Cooper River dominates this coastal landscape, winding past a network of islands and marshes including Big Island, Thomas Island, and Rhodens Island. In the early 21st century, the urban expansion of North Charleston and Hanahan is clearly visible, with residential neighborhoods like Liberty Hills and Lakeview pressing against the riparian edges. The transition from industrial corridors to historical landholdings is marked by sites such as the Yeamans Hall Plantation Cem and the waters of Gold Cup Springs.

Navigational reaches of the river, such as Slack Reach and Back Slack Reach, underscore the importance of the waterway to the region's geography. To the north, the growing community of Goose Creek is framed by many water bodies including Old Tenant Pond and Georgie Pond. The map also documents the infrastructure of the era, from the Nnptc Cir railroad to military-related roads like Missile Haul Rd, reflecting the area's long-standing connection to naval and defense activities.
