Inman South Carolina Boiling Springs USGS Topo Map 1964
$27.00
This USGS 15-minute quadrangle is a 1961 edition, printed in 1964, and is in very good condition for a copy now six decades old. The sheet takes in a stretch of the Carolina Piedmont and Blue Ridge foothills spanning parts of Spartanburg and Greenville counties in South Carolina and Polk County in North Carolina, depicting towns including Inman, Inman Mills, Campobello, Landrum, Boiling Springs, and Tryon and Columbus just across the state line. Notably surveyed before the completion of Interstate 26, the map captures the road network of this corridor as it existed before that highway reshaped regional travel patterns through the Upstate.
