About this map

The town of Edgefield serves as the central hub of this 1960s survey, updated with revisions from the early 1980s. The landscape is deeply tied to its historical institutions and congregation centers, including Macedonia Ch and Rose Hill Ch near the town center, and the County Prison Camp located to the northwest. The presence of numerous family and church burial grounds, such as Blocker Cem, Bland Cem, and Republican Grove Cem, provides significant points of interest for genealogists tracking local family lineages.

Transportation and utility infrastructure are well-defined by the Southern railroad line cutting through Parkhill and a prominent Pipeline corridor to the east. Water features like Slade Lake and the winding Turkey Creek dictated early settlement patterns and land use. Industrial activity is noted by a Quarry and a municipal Waterworks, reflecting the mid-century growth of this South Carolina community.
