1987 Map of Greenwood

About this map

Greenwood serves as the focal point of this late 20th-century landscape, housing the county Courthouse and anchored by Bell Park near the Greenwood Corp Bdy. The geography is defined by the heavy presence of energy infrastructure, with numerous Gas Wells and a Pipeline cutting across the terrain alongside the natural features of Backbone Mountain and Devils Backbone Ridge. The map documents a transition from the area's industrial past to its modern character, showing an Old Railroad grade and a Coal Wash Yard near Billcol Mountain alongside active resource extraction like the Strip Mine. Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers, from the clusters at New Jenny Lind and Old Jenny Lind to rural sanctuaries like Mt Zion Ch and Shady Grove Ch, and family resting places including Stroud Cem and Lovelace Cem.
