2017 Map of Summerville NW

About this map

Ashley River headwaters and a intricate network of swampy basins define the landscape of Berkeley County in this 2017 survey. The region is characterized by unique Carolina Bay features such as Pigeon Bay, Mosquito Bay, and Caton Bay, which sit alongside the extensive Wassamassaw Swamp. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial grounds, including Lebanon Cem, Rudd Cem, and the Wassamassaw Cem, providing a detailed look at the rural settlement patterns near Long Ridge. The drainage system is heavily articulated through numerous small waterways like Sandy Run, Caton Cr, and Black Cr, illustrating the low-lying coastal plain environment. Human presence is marked by a dense web of local roads, including Mudville Rd and Calamus Pond Rd, which connect these dispersed rural landmarks and water bodies.
