1969 Map of Rion

About this map

Rion serves as a focal point in this Fairfield County landscape, where the granite industry is marked by numerous Quarries and the route of the Rockton and Rion railroad. This 1969 field-checked survey reveals a rural society deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by a dense network of country churches including Union Memorial Ch, Shiloh Ch, and Mt Zion Ch. The terrain is defined by the Little River and its many tributaries like Mill Creek and Morris Creek, which carve through the wooded hills. Small settlements and named crossroads such as Milling Crossroads and Macafee anchor the community, while the Kelly Miller Sch stands as a notable landmark for those tracing local educational history during the late 1960s.
