About this map

McColl serves as the primary hub of this Marlboro County landscape in the early 1970s, situated at the junction of the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad and local thoroughfares. The town’s social fabric is anchored by institutions like the McColl-Fletcher Memorial High School and the Emmanuel Church. To the southwest, the smaller settlement of Tatum sits along the rail line, surrounded by agricultural fields and drainage features like Beaverdam Creek.

The map reveals a rural community structured around family-named landmarks and historic industry sites, such as McLaurins Millpond and McNairs Millpond. Significant genealogical detail is preserved through numerous rural churches and burial sites, including Newton Cemetery and Fletchers Chapel. The border between North Carolina and South Carolina cuts across the northern section, dividing natural features like Gum Swamp and Panther Creek between the two states.
