About this map

Orangeburg serves as the focal point of this 2014 survey, where the northern residential expansion meets the dense wetlands of the Coastal Plain. The map documents a complex network of established neighborhoods and smaller communities like Brookdale, Hilldale, and New Brookland, which fill the spaces between the major transit corridors. To the north and east, the landscape transitions into a mosaic of drainage systems, including Saddler Swamp and the expansive Four Hole Swamp.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the various burial grounds and small settlements scattered across the quadrangle, from Crestview Cem in the west to the Bull Swamp Cem in the east. The presence of Mt Carmel Baptist Church Cem near Jamison and the distinctive Wannamaker Catfish Ponds illustrates the area's mix of traditional rural life and modern commercial aquaculture. This era shows a community defined by its proximity to Interstate 26, which bisects the terrain while skirting established landmarks such as Rogers Pond and Zeiglers Pond.
