About this map

The Southern and Seaboard railroads converge at Belton, a major transportation hub in this South Carolina Piedmont landscape. To the west, the outskirts of Anderson reach toward the Rocky River, where the Drive-In Theatre and Calhoun St Sch mark the growing edge of the city. The rural areas between these centers are characterized by a dense network of small communities and social centers, including Hammond, Campbell, and the textile town of Williamston in the northeast corner.

Genealogists and local historians will find numerous landmarks preserved on this 1983 edition, from the sprawling Forest Lawn Memorial Cemetery to scattered country churches like Whitefield Ch, Union Grove Ch, and Evergreen Ch. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Beaverdam Creek and Broadway Creek, which feed into the central river valley. Cultural features such as the Marshall Sch and Triangle Ch provide specific points of interest for those tracing the development of Anderson County’s smaller settlements during the late twentieth century.
