2017 Map of Cross Anchor

About this map

Dutchman and Cross Anchor serve as primary anchors for this rural landscape where the Tyger River winds through the Piedmont. The survey reveals a region defined by its watercourses and small family cemeteries, including Belmont Cem, Grace Chapel Cem, and New Hope Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing South Carolina heritage. The terrain is marked by Beddington Mtn and an extensive network of creeks such as Frenchman Cr and Dutchman Creek. Infrastructure is notably tied to the river crossings at Vernon Bridge and the Burnt Factory Bridge, the latter name hinting at former local industries. Much of the southeastern portion of the map is dedicated to the Sumter National Forest, preserving the wooded character along the Spartanburg Co and Union Co line.
