1988 Map of North

About this map

The North Air Force Auxiliary Field dominates the northern landscape of this Orangeburg County region, situated just east of the town of North. This part of South Carolina is defined by the winding course of the North Fork Edisto River, which creates a broad floodplain flanked by numerous tributaries and family-named landmarks. The map documents a rural economy historically tied to water management, as evidenced by Hutto Millpond and Culler Millpond. Further south, the settlements of Livingston and Neeses provide clear reference points for genealogists tracking family land along the banks of Big Beaver Creek or the wetlands of Roberts Swamp. The intricate drainage patterns, including Bull Swamp Creek and Turkey Branch, reveal the natural challenges and opportunities faced by local residents in the late 20th century.
