About this map

The Santee River corridor defines this South Carolina landscape, captured during the 1920s before the creation of modern reservoirs altered the region's hydrology. The survey details a rural economy centered on the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, which connects the primary settlements of Holly Hill and Eutawville. This period represents a significant era of local infrastructure, documented by numerous community landmarks such as Camden Road School, Springfield Church, and Liveoak Church.

A notable historical focus appears near the riverbank at Eutaw Springs, where a Battle Monument marks the site of the Revolutionary War engagement. The surrounding lowlands are characterized by extensive wetlands and bays, including the sprawling Four Hole Swamp to the south and smaller features like Toney Bay and Gibson Bay. These natural features, alongside small rail stops like Vance and Ferguson, illustrate the settlement patterns of Orangeburg County in the early twentieth century.
