2020 Map of Five Forks

About this map

Norris and the surrounding Upstate landscape occupy this detailed survey along the Pickens Co Anderson Co boundary. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Eighteenmile Cr, Three and Twenty Cr, and Six and Twenty Cr, which carve through the Piedmont hills. This era shows a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by numerous burial grounds and congregations such as Willis Chapel Methodist Church Graveyard and Corinth Number Two Baptist Church Graveyard. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped family-named roads and remote cemeteries like Simpson Cem and Flat Rock Cem. The map captures the interface between small settlements like Five Forks and the rural agricultural lands that have long defined this portion of South Carolina.
