1919 Map of Wando

About this map

Wando River dominates this low-lying landscape during the late 1910s, serving as a primary artery for trade and movement between Berkeley and Charleston Counties. The settlements of Wando and Cainhoy sit as quiet hubs along the river, supported by a network of landings such as Lachicotte Landing and Martins Point Landing. The era’s industrial footprint is visible through the Lumber R. R., which cuts through the wooded interior north of Guerin Creek, signaling the importance of timber to the local economy. Religious and educational life is anchored by local landmarks including St Matthews Church, St Pauls Church, and the Christ Church Academy. Traditional transportation routes like the Ferry Road and Georgetown Road provide the overland connections to the wider coastal region, while Clements Ferry offers a vital crossing over the inland marshes.
