About this map

Ninety-Six serves as the focal point of this late-1940s landscape, where the confluence of the Southern and Seaboard Air Line railroads highlights its importance as a regional transportation hub. The geography is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Ninety-Six Creek, Wilson Creek, and Coronaca Creek that flow toward the Saluda River and the newly created Lake Greenwood at the northern edge.

Social and civic life is traced through a high concentration of rural institutions, such as Youngs Chapel Sch, Lebanon Ch, and Mt Tabia Ch. A notable archaeological landmark, the Site of Old Star Fort, provides a direct link to the area's colonial and Revolutionary War history. Smaller settlements like Saluca and the County Farm further illustrate the mid-century agricultural and administrative character of this part of South Carolina.
