1968 Map of Lake Robinson

About this map

Lake Robinson dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its waters contained by a southern dam near the powerplant and gaging station. This 1960s survey illustrates a rural South Carolina corridor defined by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and numerous water-powered millponds. The topography transitions from the protected lands of the Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge and Sandhills State Forest in the northwest toward the settled areas of McBee and Clyde. Genealogists will find a high density of rural houses of worship, including Tabernacle Ch, Shady Grove Ch, and Antioch Ch, alongside family landmarks like McLean Cem. The presence of several claypits and a major pipeline corridor reflects the local industrial footprint during this era of development.
