1976 Map of Mc Coll

About this map

Mc Coll stands as the central hub of this orthophotoquad, which uses aerial photography from February 1976 to reveal the intricate land-use patterns on the South Carolina and North Carolina border. The landscape is characterized by a stark contrast between dense agricultural clearing and dark, winding wetlands or wooded bays. Significant rural junctions such as Masons Crossroads and Adamsville Crossroads anchor the surrounding countryside, providing geographical touchstones for local history and property research. Further south, the settlement of Tatum appears along the primary transit corridor, showing the residential and commercial footprints of the mid-1970s. This specific type of imagery, processed by the Geological Survey, preserves the exact texture of the fields and forest lines as they existed before decades of modern development altered the rural Marlboro County terrain.
