About this map

Horse Creek dictates the industrial and residential spine of this Aiken County corridor, anchoring a string of mill towns and communities from Vaucluse down through Graniteville and Langley. This 2017 study illustrates the dense concentration of textile heritage sites, where the landscape is still defined by water features like Vaucluse Pond, Graniteville Pond Two, and Langley Pond. These reservoirs historically powered the region's industry, now surrounded by growing residential developments like Midland Valley and Burnettown.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial grounds, including the Graniteville Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and the Old Langley Cem. The northeastern corner transitions into the campus of the Univ of South Carolina-Aiken, while the southern reaches show the modern suburban expansion near Jacksonville and Lynwood. The map also details the complex road network, from the historic Old Cherokee Indian Rd to the bypasses connecting Warrenville and Gloverville.
