2011 Map of Five Forks

About this map

Five Forks serves as a central point in this landscape defined by the branching tributaries of the Savannah River watershed. The terrain is intricately carved by Eighteenmile Creek to the west and Three and Twenty Creek to the east, creating a network of ridges where local landmarks like Cedar Ridge Farm and several historic burial grounds are situated. Numerous small-scale water management projects are evident through features such as the F Revves Pond Dam and the Clemson University Pond Dam. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding local interments, noting the Corinth Baptist Cemetery Number Two, Sharon Cemetery, and Willis Chapel Cemetery. The naming conventions of the waterways, including Six and Twenty Creek and Double Branch, reflect the early surveying and pioneering history of this Pickens County region.
