1953 Map of Spartanburg

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Columbia and Spartanburg anchor this mid-century survey of the South Carolina Upcountry and Piedmont, where a massive network of river-driven industry and railroads defined the regional economy. The landscape is characterized by the complex drainage of the Broad River, Catawba River, and Saluda River, including the expansive Lake Murray created by the Dreher Shoals Dam. Industrial and utility infrastructure is prominently noted, such as the Parr Shoals Dam, the Anderson Quarry, and various hydroelectric sites like the Great Falls and Dearborn Dam.
