1938 Map of Greenville

About this map

Greenville serves as the hub of this 1930s textile and industrial landscape, with dense street grids radiating out toward satellite communities like West Greenville and Berea. The area’s growth is anchored by the Southern RR and the Northern Electric RR, which connect local industry to the wider Piedmont region. To the north, the prominent silhouette of Paris Mtn rises above the rolling terrain, while the Reedy River and Saluda River provided the essential water power that fueled the region's development, evidenced by the presence of Saluda Lake and Conestee Lake.
