About this map

Branchville and Rowesville anchor this part of the Lowcountry, connected by the long north-south corridor of Freedom Road. The landscape is defined by the winding North Fork Edisto River along the western edge and several expansive low-lying features like Robinsons Bay and Durbin Bay. This survey captures the rural character of the area, punctuated by small settlements and family-named markers that indicate a deeply rooted local history.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family burial grounds and community focal points. Distinctive sites such as the Peter Bowman Cem, Sardis Cem, and Summers Cem are scattered across the terrain. Smaller hamlets like Sixty Six and religious centers such as Canaan Baptist Church Cem provide specific points of interest for those tracing family lineages through this part of Orangeburg County.
