1973 Map of Elliott

About this map

The Black River winds through a landscape of wetlands and lowlands along the border of Lee and Sumter counties, where traditional farming patterns are defined by a network of rural crossroads. Settlements like English Crossroads, Wells Crossroads, and Dunlape Crossroads serve as the primary anchors for this South Carolina interior, many connected by historical routes such as the Old Railroad Grade and the MC Donald Tram Road. The presence of numerous congregational centers, including Mt Zion Ch, St Pauls Ch, and St Lukes Ch, reflects the importance of local churches as community foundations in the early 1970s.
