1957 Map of Sumter West

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Shaw Air Force Base dominates the northwestern landscape of this mid-century survey, surrounded by the evolving residential developments of Shaw Heights and Pinckney Crossroad. The eastern edge transitions into the growing suburbs of Sumter, including neighborhoods like Bon Air Terrace and Heathley Wood. The southwestern portion of the map is defined by the dense woodlands of the Manchester State Forest, which contains the State Forest Nursery and several small family burial grounds such as Pitts Cem. Between the military base and the city, the land is etched with numerous blackwater features, including Mush Swamp, Green Swamp, and Cypress Bay. The industrial and agricultural heritage of the region is evident in the presence of the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad and several historic water-powered sites such as Loring Millpond and New Millpond.
