About this map

Sumter National Forest land dominates the western and southern reaches of this landscape, where a network of tributary creeks creates a dense drainage pattern. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of Ninety Six Cr, Sleepy Cr, and Mountain Cr, which carve through the countryside north of the Greenwood and Saluda County line. Small communities and historical crossroads such as Cambridge, Friendship, and Eulala are distributed along the ridges between these drainages, connected by traditional routes like the Old Charleston Rd and Martin Town Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific sites of interest, including the Friendship Cem near the intersection of several forest roads. In the eastern portion of the map, the namesake settlement of Good Hope sits near the upper reaches of Red Bank Cr, while Adams Pond provides a notable landmark further north. The map illustrates a rural South Carolina landscape where timberland, small-scale farming, and old roadway corridors remain the primary features of the human geography.
