1969 Map of Blair

About this map

Sumter National Forest dominates the landscape at the confluence of several major South Carolina waterways in the late 1960s. The Broad River serves as a natural boundary between Newberry and Fairfield counties, holding Henderson Island in its channel while the Southern railroad follows its eastern bank through Shelton and Strother. The river network is dense here, as the Tyger River and Enoree River flow from the west to join the Broad, creating a terrain of significant drainage basins including Hellers Creek and Subers Creek.
