About this map

Lake Greenwood dominates this portion of the Piedmont, its intricate, finger-like shoreline defining the residential and recreational character of the region. The impoundment of the Saluda River is anchored by the Buzzard Roost Dam, which separates the reservoir from the downstream river channel. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern development pattern of established lakeside communities like Greenwood Shores and Anglers Haven, which contrast with the older rural crossroads nearby.

Evidence of the area's longer history remains visible in the placement of Sauls Chapel Cemetery and Cross Roads Cemetery in the northern reaches near Vaughanville. The landscape is a network of winding tributaries such as Wilson Creek and Ninety Six Creek, which feed the lake and intersect with a dense grid of local roads and state highways. From the small settlement at Dyson to the spans at Dysons Bridge, the map provides a clear record of how water management and suburban growth have reshaped this South Carolina landscape.
