1986 Map of Swansea
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
Swansea serves as the primary hub in this mid-1980s landscape, where three South Carolina counties — Lexington, Calhoun, and Orangeburg — meet. The geography is defined by a dense network of blackwater drainage systems, most notably Bull Swamp Creek and its many tributaries like Third Creek and Cow Branch. These wetlands and slow-moving waters were historically harnessed for local industry, evidenced by the numerous millponds scattered across the quadrangle, including Etheredge Millpond and Brooker Millpond. To the south, the smaller settlement of Woodford sits near the Orangeburg County line.
