1949 Map of Gibson

About this map

Gibson anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, a rail town situated at the junction of the Seaboard Coast Line just above the border between North Carolina and South Carolina. The map captures a landscape defined by milling operations and rural family settlements, with the Richmond Mill and Ida Mill utilizing the waters of Gum Swamp Creek. These industrial points are surrounded by numerous community hubs, including the Old Hundred Sch and the Baysville Sch, which served the local farming population.
