About this map

The city of Anderson and the town of Belton anchor this detailed survey of the South Carolina Piedmont, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Rocky River. This area shows a transition from structured urban centers to a rural network of family and community landmarks, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries such as Whitefield Cem and Midway Cem that dot the countryside. The presence of several reservoirs, including Anderson Reservoir and Bailey Cr Reservoir, illustrates the critical role of water management in supporting both the population centers and local agriculture.

Industrial and community histories intersect at places like Hammond and Campbell, connected by a dense lattice of local roads. Waterways such as Beaverdam Cr and Broadway Cr wind through the terrain, historically shaping the layout of land tracts and early settlements. For those researching local lineages, the map preserves the exact locations of several historic burial grounds, including Dorchester Baptist Cem and Eureka Baptist Cem, which remain as permanent markers of the region's social fabric during the mid-2010s.
