About this map

Lebanon and the surrounding Fairfield County countryside are defined by a dense network of creek branches feeding into the Little River. In the late 1960s, the landscape remained largely rural, characterized by small settlements like Adger and Douglass that grew near established transportation routes. The Southern railroad cuts through the eastern portion of the map, while several historic congregational sites, including Nazareth Ch and the Old Stone Church Cem, suggest a long-standing community structure rooted in local church life.

Central to this area's infrastructure is the Winnsboro Airport and the White Oak Lookout Tower, which provided essential services for the region's aviation and forestry management. The topography is marked by numerous watercourses such as Jackson Creek and Brushy Fork Creek, which likely influenced the placement of early homesteads and landmarks like Bells Bridge. The presence of multiple cemeteries, including St Johns Cem, offers significant detail for those tracing family history in this part of South Carolina.
