About this map

The North Fork Edisto River and South Fork Edisto River converge south of Orangeburg, defining a landscape where the river-and-rail economy of the mid-twentieth century is clearly visible. The city itself sits at a significant rail junction for the Atlantic Coast Line and Southern railroads, supporting nearby rural communities like Cordova, Rowesville, and Branchville. Outside the urban center, a dense network of country schools and churches—such as Oldfield Sch, Bethlehem Ch, and East Branchville Sch—serves the agricultural backcountry.
