1980 Map of Jordan

About this map

Jordan stands at the northern edge of this landscape, where the agricultural uplands transition into the complex waterways of the Santee basin. The 1980 survey reveals a community anchored by local congregations, including Jordan Ch, Union Ch, and Cypress Ch, alongside the specialized aviation facilities of the Clarendon County Airport. To the south, the terrain descends into the vast wetland systems of the Wyboo Swamp and the northern reaches of Lake Marion. This environment is shaped by an intricate network of drainage, where Three Hole Swamp and Deep Creek feed into the lake's fingers. The presence of the Santee National Wildlife Refuge and an Old RR Grade reflects the area's dual character of conservation and former rail-based transport. Lakeside developments like Camp Cooper and Tranquility Cove illustrate the recreational evolution of the shoreline during the late twentieth century.
