About this map

The Pee Dee River carves a winding path along the boundary of Darlington and Marlboro counties, defining a landscape of agricultural fields and dense swampy bottomlands in the early 1960s. Central to this survey is the community of Mont Clare, located near the intersection of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad and local rural routes. Genealogists will find a wealth of named landmarks and family-associated locations, including the Governor Williams Cem near Robbins Neck and the Gandy Cem near the settlement of Gandy.

An interesting topographical detail includes the presence of several elliptical bay outlines, such as Devils Woodyard Bay, which are characteristic features of the coastal plain. Social and educational centers are represented by the Rosenwald Consolidated Sch and several country churches, such as Round O Ch and Red Hill Ch, reflecting the distributed nature of this rural South Carolina community during the mid-20th century.
