About this map

The northern expansion of Orangeburg is documented here in detail, revealing a landscape transitioning from the low-lying wetlands of Saddler Swamp and Bull Swamp into organized residential subdivisions. Modern neighborhoods such as Colonial Heights, Highland, and Wilkinson Heights frame the edges of the city, while academic institutions like the Claflin University Science Center Annex and South Carolina State University Mason Hall highlight the area's role as an educational hub.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and rural roots remains visible through scattered settlements like Jamison and Riley, alongside numerous named water bodies such as Ocains Pond and Green Pond. The map also preserves the location of historic resting places, including Belleville Memorial Cemetery and Bull Swamp Cemetery, which provide valuable touchpoints for genealogists researching family ties in this part of South Carolina during the early twenty-first century.
