About this map

Dacusville and the surrounding Upstate South Carolina countryside are defined by the convergence of the North Saluda River and South Saluda River. This topographic study reveals a landscape shaped by water management, featuring numerous private impoundments such as Philpat Pond Dam and Jamason Pond Dam. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations like Hickory Nut Mountain and Cedar Rock Mountain, which overlook a network of rural roads and family-named landmarks.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, including the Nine Forks Cemetery, McAdams Cemetery, and Looper Cemetery. The settlement pattern follows old routes like Dacusville Road, connecting the main village to outlying areas like Beverly Hills and Hendricks. The map also captures modern recreational transitions, such as the Rolling Green Golf Course, situated amidst the traditional agricultural landscape drained by Shoal Creek and Doddies Creek.
