2017 Map of Fork Shoals

About this map

The Reedy River and Saluda River carve through this landscape at the boundary of Greenville, Anderson, and Laurens counties. Rural settlements such as Fork Shoals, Lickville, and McKelvey Crossroads center on a network of historical roads like Old Augusta Rd and Reedy Fork Rd. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting numerous burial grounds including Lickville Cem, Daventon Cem, and Traynham Cem. The terrain is defined by river features like Horseshoe Bend and the rocky stretches of Cedar Shoals, while Duncan Township occupies the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Small-scale aviation is represented by Oakhill Airpark, situated near the headwaters of Horse Cr. This survey illustrates a quiet transition of the South Carolina Piedmont, where old family-named landmarks and country cemeteries remain the primary markers of community identity.
