1979 Map of Blackville

About this map

Blackville serves as the primary hub of this Barnwell County landscape, situated where the Southern railroad lines intersect at the heart of the community. The town's social and educational structure is well-defined by numerous institutions, including Blackville High Sch, Sacred Heart Ch, and the Jefferson Davis Academy. The surrounding countryside maintains a blend of agricultural research and recreation, anchored by the Edisto Experimental Sta to the north and the expansive Barnwell State Park centered on Toby Creek. Further south, the town of Barnwell appears at the edge of the sheet, supported by infrastructure like the Armory and a local Hospital. The map reveals a transition from these urban centers to rural areas marked by family-named landmarks like Farrells Mill and several smaller settlements such as Ashleigh and Hilda along the Seaboard Coast Line.
