1948 Map of Abbeville West

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The western edge of Abbeville serves as the focal point of this postwar study, where the developed town grid meets a landscape defined by small-scale farming and the Sumter National Forest. The Seaboard Air Line railroad cuts through the terrain, supporting local industry near the Filtration Plant and the County Farm. This era was characterized by a decentralized social network of rural education and faith, evidenced by numerous small institutions like Gold Spring Sch, Edgewood Sch, and Mt Clement Ch. The topography is shaped by the Little River and its many tributaries, including Calhoun Creek and Redd Creek. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, notably Old Zion Cem, Melrose Cem, and Upper Long Cane Cem, which anchor the history of these South Carolina Piedmont communities.
