About this map

Edgefield serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s survey, showing a landscape defined by its community landmarks and the Southern railway line cutting diagonally across the terrain. Numerous small churches and family burial grounds are scattered throughout the countryside, including Piney Grove Ch, New Bethel Ch Cems, and Bland Cem, providing valuable data for genealogical research in this South Carolina county.

The town's infrastructure is well-documented, featuring a Lookout Tower, the local Armory, and a Sewage Disposal Pond just outside the main settlement. Water features like Slade Lake and Beaverdam Creek drain the area, while smaller outlying points like Huets Crossroads and Parkhill show the spread of local development. Notable institutions such as the County Prison Camp and Parker Sch are also clearly marked, illustrating the civic and social layout of the era.
