About this map

Old Cokesbury College stands as a focal point of this Piedmont landscape, reflecting the educational and social heritage of the region during the early 1970s. The settlement of Cokesbury is surrounded by a dense network of country churches and historic burial sites, including Old Tabernacle Cem, St Pauls Ch, and Walnut Grove Ch. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Saluda River, which feeds into the western reaches of Lake Greenwood, and the junction of Turkey Creek and Little Turkey Creek.

Industrial and infrastructure footprints are evident through the Seaboard Coast Line railroad passing near Hodges, and the presence of the County Airport and a County Prison Camp in the southern sector. Local landmarks like the Hodges Lookout Tower and Greenwood Memorial Gardens provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians studying the mid-century development of Greenwood County.
