About this map

The southern portion of Orangeburg and its surrounding suburbs define this landscape along the North Fork Edisto River. The map shows a transition from the urban centers of Claflin Univ and South Carolina State Univ to the outlying residential areas of Brookdale, Wilkinson Heights, and Edisto. To the south, the landscape opens into agricultural and timber lands, punctuated by the Orangeburg Municipal Airport and smaller communities such as Felder and Rowesville.

Low-lying drainage systems are a prominent natural feature, including the Middle Pen Swamp, Whitford-Stage Swamp, and Cow Castle Cr. These wetlands weave through the terrain between established fields like the 4 Holes Field. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including Sunnyside Cem, First Baptist Cem, and New Hope Methodist Cem, providing spatial context for family history in the county.
