2020 Map of Hickory Tavern

About this map

Hickory Tavern and the village of Gray Court anchor this rural landscape in the Upstate region of South Carolina. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including the Reedy River and North Rabon Creek, which carve through the land to create features like Tumbling Shoals. This area is rich in family and community heritage, marked by numerous small cemeteries and historic congregations. Local genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on the landscape, such as Babb Cem, Dials Cem, and the New Prospect Cem. Religious life is centered at Green Pond United Methodist Church and Dials Church, while landmarks like the Henderson Cem near the southern boundary provide specific points for historical mapping of early settlement patterns in Laurens County.
