1949 Map of Greenwood
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Greenwood serves as a major textile and rail hub in the late 1940s, defined by its complex network of competing lines including the Southern Railway, the Piedmont And Northern Railway, and the Seaboard Air Line Railway. The city's industrial identity is etched into the landscape through its distinct textile communities, such as Grendel Mill Village, Panola Mill Village, and Mathews Mill Village. Beyond the industrial core, the map reveals a landscape of education and social service, featuring Lander College, the Brewer Normal Institute, and the Connie Maxwell Childrens Home. To the south and west, the terrain transitions into the Sumter National Forest, while small rural settlements like Promised Land and New Market appear alongside numerous country schools and churches like Beulah Ch and Tranquil Ch.
