1953 Map of Spartanburg

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Columbia and Spartanburg corridor during the mid-century shows a landscape defined by massive hydroelectric projects and sprawling textile-era towns. The expansion of Lake Murray behind the Dreher Shoals Dam and the waters of Lake Wateree illustrate the transformation of the state's river systems into power reservoirs. The dominance of the Southern Railway and the Seaboard Coast Line networks reveals the critical logistics that once bound together manufacturing hubs like Rock Hill, Chester, and Lancaster.
