2014 Map of Pineville

About this map

Site of Francis Marion Tomb anchors the historical character of this Berkeley County landscape, marking the final resting place of the Revolutionary War hero known as the Swamp Fox. The terrain is defined by the transition from the Santee River in the north to the northern reaches of Lake Moultrie in the south. Between these waters, a network of plantation-era sites and small settlements like Pineville, Judge Town, and Lifeland are connected by Highway 45. Numerous burial grounds, including the Belle Isle Plantation Cem, Mahan Plantation Cem, and Mexico Cem, suggest a deep-rooted lineage of land ownership and residency. The presence of the Santee Canal and various oxbow lakes like Couturier Lake reflect a landscape heavily shaped by both natural river movements and 18th-century engineering efforts to connect the Santee and Cooper river systems.
