2024 Map of Blair

About this map

Sumter National Forest dominates the landscape where the Tyger River and Enoree River converge with the Broad River. This riverine territory is marked by the enduring legacy of early Piedmont transport, evidenced by several historic crossing points such as David Sims Ferry and Blairs Ferry. The settlement pattern follows the high ground between these drainages, with small communities like Maybinton and Glymphville serving as focal points for the surrounding rural acreage. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the landscape, including the Ebenezer Cem and Weeping Mary Cem. Along the eastern bank of the Broad River, the Catawba Trail traces a path near Strother, hinting at the long-standing importance of this corridor for travel through South Carolina's backcountry. The map also highlights recreational paths like the Tyger River Canoe Trl, showcasing how these historical waterways continue to be utilized today.
