1953 Map of Spartanburg

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Columbia and Spartanburg anchor this mid-century look at the Piedmont and Sandhills regions, showing a landscape defined by industrial water management and expanding infrastructure. The impoundment of the Catawba River and the Saluda River is prominent, creating massive features like Lake Murray, Wateree Reservoir, and Fishing Creek Reservoir. These man-made water bodies contrast with the natural flow of the Broad River and Pee Dee River, which continue to shape the drainage of the Carolina interior.
