1943 Map of Talatha

About this map

Talatha and the surrounding rural landscapes of Aiken and Barnwell counties are defined by a dense network of country schools and churches that anchored these farming communities during the early 1940s. The terrain is bisected by numerous waterways, including Upper Three Runs, Tinker Creek, and Cedar Creek, which provided the necessary drainage and power for early industry like Thalmans Mill. The Southern railroad line runs through the northeastern corner near Windsor, while the Augusta Road serves as a primary artery across the southern half of the quadrangle.
