1971 Map of Wallace

About this map

Pee Dee River and Thompson Creek define the southwestern landscape of this Marlboro County region during the early 1970s. The settlement of Wallace serves as a local hub at the crossing of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, while the historic Old Wire Road traverses the northern section, tracing a path used by early communications and travel. This era shows a community defined by its rural institutions, with a dense concentration of neighborhood churches such as Ebenezer Ch, Oak Grove Ch, and Hickory Grove Ch anchoring the local social fabric.
