1949 Map of Duford

About this map

Floyds Crossroads and the settlement of Duford anchor this agricultural landscape along the South Carolina and North Carolina border. The terrain is defined by a dense network of swampy bays and low-lying drainages, including Cartwheel Bay, Big Bay, and Mossy Bay, which dictate the placement of roads and farmsteads. This 1949 edition, based on earlier aerial photography and 1948 field methods, reveals a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by the numerous small schools and churches scattered throughout the rural sections.
