1979 Map of Bamberg

About this map

The County Courthouse and industrial infrastructure of Bamberg anchor this late-1970s landscape, where the Southern and Seaboard Coast Line railroads intersect to define the region's transport corridor. To the west, the settlement of Denmark and the smaller locality of Finland mark the agricultural uplands. The terrain is deeply influenced by the South Fork Edisto River and its associated wetlands, including Roberts Swamp and Snake Swamp. Significant local institutions are visible throughout the town center, most notably the Carlisle Military Sch and Bamberg-Ehrhardt High Sch. Rural life is evidenced by a network of community landmarks like Springtown Ch, Zion Hill Cem, and the Lemon Swamp Ch, while several Strip Mines and Sandpits indicate the extraction activities occurring near Gannts Bay and the river banks.
