1964 Map of Willington

About this map

Clarks Hill Lake and the Savannah River define the southern landscape of this 1964 survey, where the waters meet the wooded expanse of Sumter National Forest. The map captures a moment of institutional and rural history, prominently featuring the De La Howe State School and the nearby De La Howe Tomb, providing a rare look at these landmarks alongside the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. Small settlements like Willington and Bordeaux serve as local hubs, connected by a network of country churches including St Charlottes Ch, Springfield Ch, and Holy Rock Ch. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of several family-scale schools such as Mims Sch No 3 and scattered burial grounds like Willington Cem offers a detailed view of the McCormick County community before later decades of change.
