About this map

Orangeburg anchors the southern portion of this landscape, where urban infrastructure meets the intricate wetland networks of the South Carolina Coastal Plain. Compiled from 1981 aerial photography, the map reveals a transition from the city's outskirts to rural settlements like Jamison and Fersners. The terrain is heavily defined by hydrologic features, most notably the meandering paths of Four Hole Swamp, Bull Swamp, and Caw Caw Swamp.

Land use patterns are clearly visible, ranging from the industrial Clay Pit and various utility installations like the Radio Tower WDIX and a local Substation to recreational spaces such as the Golf Course. Smaller agricultural communities and family-named locales like Riley and Gramling are scattered between the creek branches, providing a detailed look at the regional geography during the late twentieth century.
