2024 Map of Pineville

About this map

Belle Isle Plantation Cem General Francis Marion Grave serves as a major historical landmark in this corner of Berkeley County, where the Lowcountry landscape meets the northern shores of Lake Moultrie. The map documents a territory defined by its complex hydrology and plantation history, featuring the remains of the Santee Canal and the Santee River corridor. The settlement of Pineville remains a central hub, surrounded by a dense concentration of family and plantation burial grounds, including Maham Plantation Cem, Richmond Cem, and the Mount Nebo Church Graveyard. These sites, along with names like Mexico Cem and Lifeland Cem, provide essential evidence of the area's ancestral land divisions. The terrain is a mosaic of wetlands such as Maham Swamp and Margate Swamp, illustrating the transition from managed plantation lands to the vast waters of the modern reservoir system.
