About this map

The Sumter National Forest occupies the southern reaches of this landscape where the boundaries of Greenwood and McCormick counties meet. This area of the Piedmont is defined by a dense dendritic drainage pattern, where numerous creeks like Hard Labor Cr and Big Cowhead Cr carve through the terrain. Small rural settlements and crossroads anchor the region, including Bradley, Callison, and the evocatively named Promised Land.

Tracing the local transportation network reveals a mix of older routes and modern connectors, such as Whitehall Rd and S Notch Rd, which link scattered farmsteads and historical sites. Genealogists will find several notable burial grounds, including Old Pine Grove Cem and Cedar Grove Cem, which serve as vital markers of the area's early community life. The crossing at Cothran Bridge over the southern waters reflects the long-standing importance of reliable creek passages in this wooded South Carolina interior.
