2014 Map of Kirk

About this map

Kirk and the surrounding woodlands of northern Pickens County are defined by a complex drainage system where Sneads Cr and Box Cr carve through the landscape. The settlement patterns follow ridge-top routes like Benevola Rd and Speeds Mill Rd, connecting small communities such as Pioneer and Pleasant Grove. For those tracing local history, the map identifies several significant rural landmarks, including Liberty Cem and Union Cem, which serve as vital reference points for the area's genealogical record. The southern portion of the quadrangle reaches the Pickens and Greene County line, marked by the waters of Taylor Cr. The presence of names like Kenny Hill School Rd and Doctor Kirk Rd suggests a landscape deeply rooted in family landholdings and early local institutions.
