1971 Map of Bellamy

About this map

The logging and rail landscape of Sumter County is well-defined here, centered on the company town of Bellamy. The community is dominated by the industrial infrastructure of the Sumter and Choctaw Railroad and localized amenities like the Lamkin Sch. To the west, the rural character is punctuated by numerous small house of worship including Morning Star Ch, Chestnut Grove Ch, and Elizabeth Ch, reflecting the close-knit social fabric of the era. The Sucarnoochee River and its tributaries, including Cotohaga Creek, carve through the terrain, while the Southern line passes through Curl Station and Lilita in the north. This survey documents the intersection of heavy timber industry transport and traditional rural settlements like Intercourse before modern expansion.
