About this map

Bolen Town and the village of Cope anchor this landscape in Orangeburg County, where agricultural lands meet a dense network of blackwater drainages. The southern border follows the winding course of the South Fork Edisto River, featuring distinctive landmarks like Old Forty Acre Island, Snow Island, and the riverside Hutto Landing. The area is characterized by numerous swamps and branches, including Deadfall Swamp and Scratchnose Swamp, which historically influenced the placement of roads and homesteads. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds such as Cherry Hill Cemetery, Two Mile Cemetery, and Old Union Cemetery. The presence of many small impoundments and mill ponds, notably Fogle Mill Pond and Copes Pond, reflects the local importance of water management for both industry and recreation in this part of South Carolina.
