1986 Map of Kingstree

About this map

Kingstree and the winding course of the Black River define this mid-1980s look at the South Carolina Lowcountry. The map captures a transitional era for the region's transport, showing the Seaboard System Railroad serving inland hubs like Lake City and Salters Depot while the coastal tourism economy centers around Garden City Beach, Pawleys Island, and the Intracoastal Waterway. The river systems here are the primary geographic organizers, from the Lynches River in the west to the confluence of the Pee Dee and Little Pee Dee River in the east.
