1953 Map of Florence
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The Lumber River and Great Pee Dee River systems dominate this mid-century landscape across the Carolina borderlands, anchoring a region defined by extensive wetlands and forest preserves. The map reveals the intricate hydrology of the coastal plain, where the vast Green Swamp sits south of Lake Waccamaw, and numerous "bays" such as Terrell Bay and Tussock Bay dot the terrain. These natural features shaped the development of rail-oriented towns like Laurinburg, Lumberton, and Florence, which served as regional hubs for the surrounding agricultural and timber lands.
