About this map

Four Hole Swamp and Wadboo Swamp dominate this Lowcountry landscape along the border of Orangeburg and Dorchester Counties as it was documented in the mid-1970s. The area's social fabric is anchored by rural congregations at Ebenezer Ch, St Stephens Ch, and The Second Providence Ch, reflecting the deep-seated community hubs typical of South Carolina's inland coastal plain. Near the settlement of Rosinville, the map reveals a network of watercourses including Cow Castle Creek and Indian Field Swamp, which historically dictated the pattern of local travel and agriculture.

Interstate expansion is visible cutting through the drainage basins of Patrick Branch and Wadboo Branch, showing the arrival of modern transportation corridors alongside established sites like the Shady Grove Campground and Duncan Chapel. This provisional survey provides a precise record of the hydrologic features and church-centered settlements that define this portion of the South Carolina interior before further suburban development reached the area.
