1973 Map of Clinton

About this map

The confluence of the Archey Fork Little Red River and the South Fork Little Red River anchors the town of Clinton, showing a community defined by its proximity to these winding waterways. By the early 1970s, the landscape reflects the significant impact of the Greers Ferry Lake reservoir, which flooded the river valleys to create the jagged shoreline seen in the eastern and southern portions of the map. While Clinton remains the primary hub with its Hospital, Fairground, and Clinton Landing Strip, the smaller settlement of Choctaw to the south serves as a gateway to the Choctaw Recreation Area. Local history and genealogy are preserved in rural markers such as the Pee Dee Cem, Johnson Cem, and Hunter-Hill Cem, alongside small congregations at Huie Ch and Christadelphian Ch. The terrain is characterized by prominent heights like Clinton Mountain and Culpepper Mountain, which hem in the narrow hollows and creek beds.
