1983 Map of Belton West

About this map

The rolling Piedmont landscape of Anderson County during the late 1970s and early 1980s is defined by a dense network of rural churches and family-named waterways. This area between Anderson and Belton shows a transition from structured town centers to a landscape dominated by agricultural drainage, with Beaverdam Creek and its many tributaries like Little Beaverdam Creek and Watermelon Creek carving through the terrain. The presence of numerous small congregations, such as Evergreen Ch, Salem Ch, and New Hopewell Ch, reflects the historical community hubs that sustained this region's social fabric.
