About this map

Richland and Jones Crossroads anchor this rural landscape in Saluda County, where small settlements are defined by their proximity to local creek systems and family landmarks. The topography is intricately woven with water bodies such as Richland Creek and Clouds Creek, alongside private ponds like Berrys Pond and Asbill Pond. A dense network of community history is visible through numerous burial sites, including the Richland Springs Cemetery, Saint Williams Cemetery, and Good Hope Cemetery. The road network is dominated by the Batesburg Highway and Blue Ridge Spring Highway, which connect these crossroads to the wider region. This survey illustrates a resilient agricultural pattern, where the placement of cemeteries and small ponds provides a clear record of local family landholdings and long-standing community centers.
