1940 Map of Florence East

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Lynches River and the meandering Pee Dee define the eastern and western reaches of this Pee Dee region landscape as it appeared just before the mid-century. The era's transportation network is anchored by the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Coast Line, which serviced rural stops like Claussen Station and industrial sidings including Munns Siding and Pynor Siding. The map reveals a dense rural social fabric centered on family and community names, from schools like Woodville Sch and High Hill Sch to the numerous bays and swamps such as Alligator Bay and Back Swamp. Notable landmarks of the period include the Pee Dee Airport and the distinctively labeled The Stockade on the outskirts of Florence. For those tracing local heritage, the inclusion of small family cemeteries like Howe Cem and McPherson Cem provides precise locations for long-established homesteads.
