1961 Map of Cleveland

About this map

Caesars Head commands the northwestern heights of this landscape, where the Blue Ridge Escarpment begins its dramatic drop toward the Piedmont. The boundary between Greenville Co and Pickens Co follows the course of the Middle Saluda River and South Saluda River, marking a territory defined by sharp relief and numerous named peaks such as Little Pinnacle Mtn and Watson Mtn. This survey captures a region transitioning from rural isolation to recreational use, evidenced by the cluster of organizational retreats like Civitan Camp, Camp Parker, and Camp Marietta. Local genealogy is well-preserved through family-named landmarks and small community anchors, including Hardin Cem, Moody Cem, and churches like South Saluda Ch. The infrastructure of the era is visible in the prominent Aqueduct and several named river crossings such as Freeman Bridge and Mayfield Bridge.
