About this map

Big Beaver Creek and its many tributaries carve through this section of Orangeburg County, defining a landscape shaped by water and small-scale milling. Named water bodies like Harleys Millpond, Moods Pond, and Priester Millpond suggest a history of local industry along the drainages of Rocky Swamp Creek and Bolen Mill Creek. The area is characterized by a dense network of family-named roads and landmarks, reflecting long-standing rural settlement patterns near the town of Neeses.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with numerous small burial grounds and parish sites recorded, including the Gleaton Family Cem and the Gleaton Fogle Corbett Family Cem. Religious life is anchored by landmarks such as Hopewell Church and the Mount Beulah Pentecostal Holiness Church, each with its associated graveyard. From the North Fork Edisto River in the north to Cowfort Lake in the south, the map provides a contemporary look at this traditional South Carolina landscape.
