About this map

Bowman serves as the primary hub of this Lowcountry landscape, situated at the intersection of several regional routes in Orangeburg County. The town is surrounded by a network of drainage systems typical of the coastal plain, with Cow Castle Cr and Buck Br winding through the northern reaches. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly defined by wetland environments, most notably the expansive Polk Swamp and the waters of Sandy Run.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial sites such as Mount Tabor Cem near Murray Br and Rigby Cem further east. Small settlements like Lambrick and Sandy Run provide context for the rural residential patterns of the area. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Orangeburg Co and Dorchester Co, showing the transition into the neighboring county's timberlands and swamp edges.
