About this map

The boundary between Calhoun County and Orangeburg County bisects this landscape of low-lying wetlands and upland settlements. Centered around the northern reaches of Orangeburg, the map documents a transition from the urban periphery to the agricultural and swamp-dense regions of the Lowcountry. Significant institutional presence is found at the Orangeburg Calhoun Technical College, while the surrounding rural landscape is dotted with ancestral landmarks like Mount Carmel Baptist Church Cem and Prospect Cem.

A network of hydrologic features, including Four-Hole Swamp, Caw Caw Swamp, and the distinctly named Whitford Stage Swamp, dictates the local geography. These wetlands are interspersed with small communities such as Jamison, Stilton, and Brookdale. The transportation corridor is anchored by the crossing of Saint Matthews Rd and Russell St, serving as a modern overlay to a landscape defined by historic family-named cemeteries and established church grounds.
