About this map

Buzzard Roost and the winding course of the Saluda River define the landscape of this region where four South Carolina counties meet. In this 2017 study, the water's edge is lined with modern developments like Greenwood Shores and residential roads such as Skippers Landing Rd. Despite contemporary growth, the map preserves the locations of numerous historic landmarks vital for genealogical research, including the Cross Roads Cem near Vaughanville and the Bozeman-Scurry Graveyard tucked away near Chappells.

The map's detail extends to the intricate network of creeks like Ninety Six Creek and Wilson Creek that feed into the larger river system. Small settlements such as Dyson and Godsey are shown in their rural context, positioned near old crossroads and family-named features like Sauls Chapel Cem. The intersection of Greenwood, Laurens, Newberry, and Saluda counties provides a complex look at local boundaries as they follow both natural watercourses and historic property lines.
