About this map

Greenville serves as the dense urban core of this early 1980s landscape, flanked by a network of industrial and residential neighborhoods such as Judson, Woodside, and Welcome. The city's growth is anchored by significant infrastructure, including the Donaldson Center Airport and multiple medical facilities like Greenville Gen Hosp and St Francis Hosp. The map illustrates a period of transition where the Southern and Seaboard Coast Line railroads still define the movement of goods through the Piedmont.

Away from the city center, the terrain is shaped by the Saluda River and the Saluda Lake reservoir to the west. Local recreation and community hubs are prominently featured, from the Greenville-Pickens Speedway on the Pickens County border to the Chanticleer Country Club. Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the numerous small churches and burial grounds, including Resthaven Mem Gardens and Mt Pleasant Ch, which sit alongside established school sites like Parker High Sch and Berea High Sch.
