City Directories and History:  Architect, Mr. Robert Mills was hired by the State of S.C. to create accurate maps of the state’s districts.  In turn, he employed knowledgeable surveyors to survey the local areas, from which he created his finished maps of S.C., districts or counties.  This resulted in accurate maps of roads, streams, and cities located in each.  Click on the More Information / Enlargeable links,  (found under the picture column), for an enlargeable county map,  a history of Robert Mill’s survey of S.C. counties, written by Gene Waddell in 1980, an index to the names listed on the maps, and enlargeable quadrants / sections for conducting in depth research.

“Benjamin Busbee received $1,400 for work on the Map of the State on 11 December, 1818. The voucher has “Benjamin Bugbee,” and the atlas plate of Orangeburgh District has “B. Busby,” but the 1820 Census has only several Busbees, a form which survives. No manuscript map for this district is known to exist.”  Information from: Mill’s Atlas of South Carolina – 1825, Southern Historical Press, 1980

R&R has also taken individual county maps and created a list of their recorded sites, allowing R&R’s users, faster access to historic data.  Each of the More Information links opens items connected to the Mill’s map of this county.  The last four are those related to Quadrants 1-4.  Names within each quadrant are listed below and at the bottom of the page, is an alphabetical list, of all names shown in Orangeburg District, along with other counties in which the name also appears. An additional excellent source of these maps can be see at David Rumsey’s Maps.
