About this map

The Site of Francis Marion Tomb Cem marks a significant historical point in this Berkeley County landscape, which transitions from the northern flow of the Santee River to the vast waters of Lake Moultrie in the south. The village of Pineville serves as a central hub, surrounded by a dense network of country churches including Messiah Ch, Redeemer Ch, and Day Dawn Ch.

A notable engineering relic, the Santee Canal (Abandoned), traces a line toward Bulltown Bay, reflecting early 19th-century transportation efforts that have since been superseded by modern hydrological changes. The landscape is defined by its swamps and lakes, with Maham Swamp and Margate Swamp filling the lowlands between the river and the lake. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous named burial sites such as Richmond Cem, Mexico Cem, and Bluford Cem.
