About this map

Bull Swamp and its sister waterways dominate this low-country landscape along the border of Calhoun and Orangeburg counties. This modern topographic view shows a mosaic of dense wetlands and managed agricultural tracts, connected by a network of rural routes such as Old State Rd and Five Chop Rd. The area is notably rich in cemetery sites, which serve as primary markers for family history and historical settlement patterns in a region where large towns are absent. Genealogists can locate several family and community burial grounds, including the Pitthan V Cem and Walnut Grove Cem, alongside established congregations like the Four Holes Baptist Church. The drainage patterns of Middle Pen Swamp and Cow Castle Cr illustrate the natural hydrography that has shaped land use here for generations, defining the placement of farms and homesteads.
