1957 Map of Mount Holly

About this map

Laurel Swamp and Cypress Swamp dominate the landscape north of Charleston, where the Lowcountry's intricate hydrology is marked by extensive wetlands and family-named branches. The mid-century era is characterized by small rural settlements and religious centers such as Mount Holly and Strawberry, the latter serving as a point along the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. This survey reveals a pattern of dispersed community life centered around local landmarks like the Varner Sch and numerous country churches, including Groomsville Ch and Smyrna Ch.
