2017 Map of Swansea

About this map

Swansea and Woodford serve as the primary hubs in this central South Carolina landscape, where the borders of Lexington, Calhoun, and Orangeburg counties converge. The area is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Bull Swamp Cr and Little Bull Swamp Cr, which have historically supported numerous milling operations such as Etheredge Millpond, Brooker Millpond, and Layseth Millpond. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies several significant community centers including Trinity United Methodist Church Cem and Canaan United Methodist Church Cem. The terrain is also marked by many small ponds like Gunter Pond and Shannon Pond, as well as infrastructure landmarks like the Gissendanner Bridge, reflecting a rural economy deeply tied to its water resources and family-named transport routes.
