About this map

The low-lying wetlands of the South Carolina Coastal Plain dominate this landscape where the Calhoun Co and Orangeburg Co border meets. The intricate drainage network of the Four Hole Swamp system and its many tributaries, including Middle Pen Swamp, Bill Swamp, and Little Bull Swamp, defines the topography and influenced the early settlement patterns of the region.

Genealogists will find a concentration of family and community burial grounds throughout the area, such as the Four Holes Baptist Church Cem in the north and New Mount Zion Cem to the south. Other significant sites for local history include Pineville Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Walnut Grove Cem. The map traces historical thoroughfares like Five Chop Rd and Old State RD, which cut through a landscape punctuated by water features like Brunson Pond and Cow Castle Cr, reflecting the rural agricultural character of these neighboring counties.
