About the Item
Antique Map of South Carolina – Rand McNally, circa 1888
This antique map of South Carolina was published by Rand, McNally
Co. around 1888. Part of their celebrated late 19th-century atlas series, the map offers a detailed view of the state at a time of economic recovery and railroad expansion in the post-Civil War era.
The map highlights South Carolina’s counties with fine engraving, clearly marking towns, rivers, and transport routes. Major cities such as Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, and Spartanburg are shown with strong clarity. Along the coast, Charleston and Beaufort appear as important ports, while the interior counties reflect the growing prominence of agriculture and rail connections.
Railroads, the backbone of the state’s transportation and economic growth during this period, are carefully depicted in red and blue lines, showing the intricate web of connections from Charleston northward into North Carolina and westward toward Georgia. The Atlantic coastline is engraved with subtle wave patterns, enhancing the map’s visual appeal.
Rand McNally’s late 19th-century maps are known for their accuracy and readability, and this example provides a rich portrait of South Carolina in a transitional moment of its history. It offers collectors of Southern history, cartography, or railroad memorabilia a valuable record of the era.
