1979 Map of Norway East

About this map

South Fork Edisto River defines the southern boundary of this landscape, where the Orangeburg Co and Bamberg Co lines meet amidst a complex network of wetlands. The interior is characterized by extensive swamp systems, including Deadfall Swamp, Roberts Swamp, and Twomile Swamp, which have historically dictated the placement of settlements and transport routes. Along the western edge, the Seaboard Coast Line railroad links the town of Norway to the broader region, while Cope and Bolen Town serve as smaller community hubs. Numerous rural houses of worship and burial grounds, such as Good Hope Ch, Mt Zion Ch, and Old Union Cem, are scattered across the higher ground between the branches and swamps, reflecting the deep-rooted local history and genealogy of this South Carolina coastal plain region.
