2014 Map of Summerville NW

About this map

Lebanon and the surrounding Berkeley County countryside appear here as a patchwork of wetlands and rural road networks near the upper reaches of the Ashley River. The landscape is defined by its water systems, including the serpentine paths of Black Cr, Big Run, and Caton Cr, which feed into the primary river channel. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of small rural communities and family-named landmarks in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Local genealogists will find several burial sites recorded, such as Wassamassaw Cem and Lebanon Cem, alongside the smaller Rudd Cem and Blanton Cem. The map illustrates how modern developments like Miracle Dr and Ambassador Ave have begun to interface with older thoroughfares like Mudville Rd and Longridge Rd, showcasing the evolving settlement patterns near the community of Long Ridge.
