About this map

Due West serves as the cultural anchor of this upstate South Carolina region, centered around the historic campus of Erskine College and Seminary. The landscape is defined by the intricate drainage of the Little River, with numerous small tributaries like Chickasaw Cr and Hogskin Cr carving through the terrain. This rural topography is dotted with a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Duncan Cem, Winona Cem, and Ashley Cem, providing a detailed record of local genealogy and early settlement patterns.

Transportation routes weave through smaller crossroads such as Level Land and Fairs Crossroads, connecting the population centers to water features like L R Powell Lake and historic crossing points including Tucker Bridge and Fairs Bridge. The northern edge of the map tracks the administrative boundary between Anderson and Abbeville counties, reflecting the long-standing political geography of the area.
