1927 Map of Williston

About this map

The Southern railroad corridor dictates the settlement pattern of this Barnwell and Aiken County region, connecting the primary hubs of Williston and Blackville. Between these towns, smaller rail-side communities like Elko and Reynolds sit amidst a landscape defined by its milling and mining history. Family-named landmarks such as Boviston Mill, Willis Mill, and Bells Mill are scattered along the tributaries, while industrial sites like White Pit and Ditch Pit reflect the local economy of the 1920s.
