About this map

The industrial and residential growth of southern Anderson and Homeland Park characterizes this mid-century landscape. The textile legacy of the region is evident at Orr Mill and the surrounding worker housing in Orrville, while the urban edge transitions into a network of rural communities like Gluck, Deans, and Starr. This 1960s survey, updated in the late 1970s, captures a dense concentration of civic institutions, including Westside High Sch and South Fant St Sch, alongside several prominent religious sites such as Marshall Memorial Ch and Jefferson Chapel.

To the south and west, the terrain becomes more defined by the watersheds of Big Generostee Creek and Mountain Creek. Local landmarks like Little Mtn with its Lookout Tower stand out against the patchwork of fields and farmsteads. The infrastructure of the era is well-documented, from the Anderson County Airport to the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, which historically served as the primary transit artery for the county’s agricultural and industrial output.
