About this map

Pineville serves as the central hub of this lowcountry landscape, situated in a region defined by its deep plantation roots and complex water systems. The map highlights significant historical sites, most notably the Site of Francis Marion Tomb near Belle Isle Plantation Cem. The proximity of these features to the Santee River and the older Santee Canal illustrates the colonial-era importance of river transport and agricultural estates in Berkeley County.

Numerous small family and plantation cemeteries, such as Richmond Cem, Mahan Plantation Cem, and Bluford Cem, are scattered across the terrain, providing essential data for genealogical research. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the northern shores of Lake Moultrie, where the modern shoreline meets natural features like Bulltown Bay and Crooked Bay. The transition from the dense wetlands of Maham Swamp and Margate Swamp to the residential grid of Pineville reflects the enduring character of this South Carolina coastal plain interior.
