About this map

Industrial and textile history define this mid-1960s landscape, where the Southern Railway and a dedicated Trolley Line trace the path of commerce through the Horse Creek Valley. The town of Graniteville serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller company settlements like Vaucluse, Warrenville, and Gloverville. Significant water features such as Langley Pond and Vaucluse Pond were essential to the region's development, providing the power and resources for the local mill economy.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including several burial sites like St Marys Cem and Sunset Memory Gardens (Cemetery), alongside educational institutions like Gregg Sch and the L-B-C High Sch. The map also details the area's geological extraction, showing numerous Claypits and a Quarry scattered near Aiken. From the Graniteville Fire Tower to the small neighborhoods of Stiefeltown and Burnettown, this survey captures the dense social and industrial fabric of a quintessential South Carolina mill district.
