2014 Map of Cordova

About this map

Cordova and its surrounding agricultural and residential settlements appear here during the mid-2010s, showing a landscape defined by the drainage of the North Fork Edisto River. The map highlights a dense network of local community landmarks, including numerous rural cemeteries and churches such as Saint George Baptist Church Cem and the Wesley Grove United Methodist Church Cem. The terrain is marked by extensive wetlands and watercourses, notably Snake Swamp, Cooper Swamp, and Dry Swamp, which shape the road patterns and property boundaries of Orangeburg County. Aviation history and local industry are represented by the Dry Swamp Airport and the County Hatchery Pond near the eastern border. This survey provides genealogists with a modern record of family-named sites like the Smoak Family Cem, grounding historical lineage in the physical geography of South Carolina's coastal plain.
