About this map

The Saluda River snakes through this landscape on the border of Anderson and Greenville counties, serving as a focal point for local industry and transit in the early 1980s. Industrial infrastructure is anchored by the Pelzer Mills Dam and an adjacent Powerplant in the north, while the southern stretches are defined by crossings such as Cooley Bridge and Holiday Bridge.

Rural life is mapped through a dense network of community landmarks, including the Cedar Grove Sch and numerous country churches like Beech Springs Ch and New Hope Ch. The rail lines of the Southern and Seaboard systems link the larger settlements of Belton and Williamston to the surrounding countryside, including the small community of Cheddar. Local waterways like Big Creek and Toney Creek feed into the Saluda, carving out the drainage patterns of this upstate South Carolina region.
