1968 Map of Hartsville South

About this map

Hartsville and its southern agricultural hinterlands are captured here during a period of steady growth along the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. The map reveals a complex landscape of Carolina bays—distinctive elliptical depressions such as The Bay, Bees Wax Bay, and Dargans Bay—which punctuate the low-lying terrain. While the town center around Prestwood Lake shows established urban infrastructure like the Hospital and Butler Sch, the surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of named rural crossroads and family-centered landmarks.
