2014 Map of Orangeburg South

About this map

The city of Orangeburg serves as a dense educational and residential hub on the banks of the North Fork Edisto River. This landscape is defined by its historic collegiate institutions, including S Carolina State Univ, Claflin Univ, and Southern Methodist Coll, all concentrated in the northern city limits. Beyond the urban grid of streets like Russell St and Amelia St, the topography shifts into the lowland drainage basins of Middle Pen Swamp and Cow Castle Cr. Small residential developments like Brookdale, Quicktown, and Pine View radiate from the center, while the southern reach of the quadrangle descends toward the quiet settlement of Rowesville. The transition from the high ground of the Orangeburg Municipal Airport to the intricate wetlands of Whitford Stage Swamp illustrates the region's reliance on both modern infrastructure and the natural floodplain of the Edisto.
