1943 Map of Georgetown North

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Georgetown serves as the focal point for this wartime survey of the South Carolina coast, where the convergence of the Black River, Pee Dee River, and Waccamaw River defines the landscape. The map reveals an agrarian society deeply rooted in its colonial past, evidenced by numerous named estates such as Lark Hill Plantation, Mansfield Plantation, and Kensington Plantation lining the riverbanks. Modern infrastructure of the 1940s is represented by the Seaboard Air Line Railroad and the County Airport, while the US Army Reservation occupies the northeastern corner. Local community life is documented through landmarks like Johnson Chapel, Graves Station Sch, and the County Prison Camp. This record illustrates the transition of the Lowcountry from a traditional plantation-based economy toward twentieth-century industrial and military utility.
