1960 Map of Dillon West

About this map

Dillon serves as a focal point of this 1960s study, showing the city's western expansion near the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line railroads. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Pee Dee River and the broad, low-lying Betsy Jackson Bay, interspersed with several small communities such as Little Rock and Centerville. Local life is anchored by numerous rural congregations and burial grounds, including Reedy Creek Ch, Dothan Ch, and Ramsey Cem. The presence of several Storage Bins and a Drive-in Theater reflects the mid-century intersection of agriculture and emerging automobile culture. Small agricultural settlements like McCormick Crossroads and Manning Crossroads illustrate the period's dispersed residential patterns across the South Carolina coastal plain.
