2024 Map of Swansea

About this map

The town of Swansea serves as a central hub in this landscape where the borders of Lexington, Calhoun, and Orangeburg counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hydrologic features, notably the meandering Bull Swamp Creek and its various tributaries like Cow Branch and Persimmon Branch. The mapping reveals a history of water management and local industry through features such as Etheredge Millpond, Layseth Millpond, and Railroad Pond. Further south, the settlements of Woodford and North anchor the lower portion of the sheet. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of sites like Penn Branch Baptist Church Cem, Trinity Church, and Canaan Church provides specific points of interest for tracing family roots and community heritage. The road network, including Saint Matthews Rd and Huckabee Mill Rd, illustrates the connectivity between these small agricultural and residential centers.
