About this map

Sandridge and Tugtown anchor this lowcountry landscape where the boundaries of Orangeburg, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties meet. The terrain is defined by a complex network of wetlands and watercourses, including the expansive Cedar Swamp and Dean Swamp, which cut through the sandy soils of the coastal plain. Notable hydrologic features like Toney Bay and Moon Savanna illustrate the unique elliptical depressions characteristic of the region.

For family historians, the map identifies several local burial grounds such as Joiner Cem, Spring Branch Cem, and Blaco Creek Cem. Transportation in the area relies on a grid of county roads and historic tracks like Old State Rd, while aviation is represented by the Crosswinds-Wilson Private Airport. The proximity of Sandy Run and Little Black Cr suggests a landscape shaped by intermittent drainage and the slow-moving waters of the South Carolina interior.
