Notes:
Varieties
of the map exist in later years, which have "State Highway Map &
Calendar of Events" or “Visitors Guide & Highway Map” on the cover.
These maps were issued by the S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism.
These have the same map on one side as the regular edition, but contain a
listing of state events for the year or tourist sites rather than tourism
related photos and information on the back side. These are known to exist for
at least 1984 and 1985, and probably other years as well.
According
to a letter from the South Carolina DOT, monthly road status maps were
published from 1919 to 1935. In 1920, the first State Highway Department
tourist map was published. The second tourist map was published in 1935. From
1937 to 1939, they report that a private company produced maps under contract.
A
"General Highway Map" dated October, 1947 is known to exist. This map
is not like the others of that era. It does not have a cover, and is actually
much more detailed than the regular official maps. The back side of this map
shows 50 city inset maps, and is dated 1948. It is not known if these maps
exist for other years, but it seems likely.
