1919 Map of Wando

About this map

The Wando River dominates this coastal landscape, serving as the primary thoroughfare for the settlements of Wando and Cainhoy during the early twentieth century. This survey, conducted in cooperation with the War Department, reveals a region defined by its tidal waterways and scattered rural centers of community life. Several local landmarks suggest a well-established social fabric, including St Matthews Church, Robertson Church, and the Christ Church Academy. The map documents the critical intersection of water and land travel, marking points of transit such as Lachicotte Landing, Martins Point Landing, and the Guerin Bridge.
