About this map

Anderson and its southern suburbs define the landscape of this 2011 survey, showing the transition from the city's residential neighborhoods to the agricultural and light industrial lands of the South Carolina Piedmont. Suburban expansion is evident in developments like Beverly Hills, Cherokee Farms, and Varennes Heights, while older community identities persist in Gluck and Homeland Park. The map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it documents numerous burial grounds ranging from large civic sites like Silver Brook Cemetery and Westview Cemetery to the more secluded Byrum-LeBoon Family Cemetery.

To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly rural around Deans and Starr, where the Starr Post Office serves as a local anchor. Water management is a prominent feature of the local topography, with numerous small impoundments such as Hill Pond Dam D-3110 and Dobbins Pond Dam D-3116 situated along the drainage basins of Big Generostee Creek and Wilson Creek. The proximity of the Anderson County Airport highlights the region's infrastructure near Greenbriar.
