About this map

Sumter anchors this mid-century landscape, characterized by a transition from a centralized urban core to an expansive network of rural schools, churches, and millponds. The presence of the U S Military Reservation (Shaw Field) and the Sumter Municipal Airport highlights the area's strategic aviation importance during the post-war era. To the west, the Poinsett State Forest covers a significant portion of the terrain, interspersed with local landmarks like McCray Lake and the Rosemary Fire Tower Road.
