1937 Map of Nixonville

About this map

The Waccamaw River winds through a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and established river landings in the late 1930s. This survey records a network of rural settlements like Nixonville, Hammond, and Grahamville that relied on these waterways and the Atlantic Coast Line railroad for transport and trade. The importance of the river is evident in the numerous landings such as Parker Ldg, Reeves Ldg, and Sessions Ldg that dot the banks between Big Swamp and Jones Big Swamp.
