About this map

The Saluda River winds along the border of Anderson and Greenville Counties, serving as the central geographic feature of this Piedmont landscape. The river valley is punctuated by several small communities and significant rural intersections, including Cheddar, Toney Creek, and Cooley Bridge. To the northwest, the town of Williamston shows a developed street grid, while the city of Belton anchors the southwestern corner. These settlements are connected by a dense network of secondary roads that reflect the area's agricultural and textile-based development.

Local history is well-preserved through several family and community burial grounds, such as Shadow Grove Cem and Cedar Shoals Cem. Water management and land use are evident in features like the Broadmouth Cr Watershed Two Lake and the Cox Ponds. The map also captures several distinct creeks, including Big Cr and Mountain Cr, which feed the Saluda basin. This survey provides a clear view of the transition between established town centers and the rural lands that support them.
