2020 Map of Vance

About this map

Lake Marion defines the northern edge of this landscape, its expansive shoreline meeting the southern reaches of Clarendon County and the town of Santee. The map reveals a transition from the structured residential development near the lake to the wetland systems of the coastal plain, characterized by Horse Range Swamp and Target Swamp. For those tracing local family history, several small burial grounds are documented across the rural interior, including Bell Cem, Felder Cem, and Springfield Cem. Transportation routes such as Vance Rd and the Old State Rd weave through the region, connecting the settlement of Santee to outlying areas near Avinger Field. Significant water features like Batchelor Br and Webbs Cr illustrate the complex drainage patterns that have historically shaped the land use and agricultural development of this part of Orangeburg County.
