1957 Map of Greenville

About this map

Greenville serves as the bustling hub of this 1957 survey, showing the city's mid-century expansion across the Reedy River and into the surrounding textile communities. The landscape is defined by its industrial roots, with mill-associated settlements like Monaghan, Woodside, and Judson anchoring the urban core. To the west, the Saluda River and Saluda Lake provide a sharp contrast to the dense network of the Southern and Seaboard Coast Line railroads. The map records several educational landmarks from this era, including the Furman University (Womens College) campus and schools like Sterling High Sch.
