1990 Map of Johnsonville

About this map

The Great Pee Dee River and the Lynches River converge in this Lowcountry landscape, defining the borders of Florence, Marion, and Williamsburg counties. In the early 1990s, the area reflects a transition between traditional river-and-rail settlements like Johnsonville and Hemingway and the industrial activity of Sand & Gravel Pits. The terrain is characterized by a network of slow-moving water bodies such as Muddy Creek and Tie Lake, punctuated by crossroads communities like Ard Crossroads and Crooks Crossroads. This provisional survey preserves the fine-scale details of rural South Carolina, from the secluded Honey Lake to the scattered Cem locations that provide valuable data for local genealogists. The map also records mid-century infrastructure, including a prominent Radio Tower and a local Golf Course, showing how the land was utilized as these historic river towns expanded toward the end of the twentieth century.
