About this map

The Broad River flows south through this part of the Piedmont, serving as a natural boundary between Fairfield, Union, and Newberry Counties. In this landscape within the Sumter National Forest, the small settlements of Blair and Strother sit along the river's eastern bank, while Maybinton and Glymphville occupy the western ridges. This region is defined by its watercourses, including the Enoree River and Tyger River, both of which feature established paths like the Enoree River Canoe Trail.

Genealogists will find several family and community burial grounds, such as Shelton Shivar Cem near Shelton and the James Ashford Cem further south. The presence of the Catawba Trail near the river indicates the long-standing significance of these terrestrial routes through the forest. Significant river features like Henderson Island and the headwaters of the Parr Shoals Reservoir illustrate the area's riverine geography and local recreational value.
