About this map

Hartsville and its northern suburbs are the focal point of this late 1960s topographic study, illustrating the community's expansion between the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and the waters of Black Creek. The city's institutional core is clearly defined, featuring the Coker College campus, St Marys Sch, and Byerly Hospital. Beyond the residential blocks of Lakeside and North Hartsville, the landscape transitions into a mix of timberland and agriculture, notably bounded by the Sandhills State Forest to the north.

Rural crossroads such as Hunts Crossroads and Granthams Crossroads anchor the outlying areas, while numerous small country churches like Pond Hollow Ch and Piney Plain Ch provide valuable markers for local genealogists. Industrial development is evident near the creek, with Old Kilgore Millpond and several industrial waste ponds signifying the local manufacturing footprint during this era of South Carolina's growth.
