About this map

Toney Bay and several distinct wetland basins characterize this Lowcountry landscape at the junction of Orangeburg, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage features including the Eightfoot Ditch, Cedar Swamp, and the expansive Four Hole Swamp to the south. Small rural communities like Sandridge and Tugtown are connected by a web of light-duty roads, often centered around local institutions such as Sandridge Sch and Ebenezer Ch.

The Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts across the northwestern corner, passing near Joiner Cem. This 1970s survey illustrates a region where local heritage is preserved in numerous country churches like Unity Ch and Galilee Ch. Distinctive topographical features such as Moon Savanna and Vandore Bay underscore the unique hydrologic character of this part of South Carolina before modern development altered these traditional land patterns.
