1953 Map of Rembert

About this map

The South Carolina Penitentiary and State Farm Number One dominate the fertile bottomlands near the Wateree River in this 1953 survey. The landscape is a complex network of agricultural and industrial operations, evidenced by conveyors and silos situated along the Southern railroad line. Inland from the river, the terrain rises into the Sandhills, where settlements like Rembert and Hagood serve as local hubs for a rural population centered around numerous country churches such as Saint Stephens Church and McLeod Chapel.
