1964 Map of Edgefield

About this map

Edgefield serves as the focal point of this South Carolina study, where the Southern railroad line intersects with local trade routes. The town is surrounded by a dense network of country churches and burial grounds that define the social fabric of the era, including Macedonia Ch and Republican Grove Ch. To the north, the landscape is divided by the drainages of Turkey Creek and Log Creek, while the County Prison Camp and Parker Sch mark the institutional footprint on the land. The presence of Slade Lake and the Waterworks near the town center indicates the critical infrastructure supporting this growing community. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named sites, from the Simkin Cem to Huets Crossroads, providing a clear look at the settled territory before later twentieth-century development altered the outskirts of the county seat.
