1943 Map of Conway

About this map

Conway sits at the confluence of the Waccamaw River and Kingston Lake, serving as a vital rail and river hub during the early 1940s. The landscape is defined by the expansive swamp systems of the coastal plain, including Crab Tree Swamp and Jenkins Swamp, which dictated the layout of local infrastructure. The Atlantic Coast Line railroad and an Old Railroad Grade illustrate the importance of timber and agricultural transport to the regional economy.
