About this map

Gaines Crossroads and the surrounding rural landscapes of Greenwood County are defined by a network of historic transportation routes and small settlements in this 2014 survey. The area is characterized by the transition from open agricultural lands and creek bottoms to the protected acreage of the Sumter National Forest in the southern and eastern portions. Major arteries like Us-25 and Us-178 intersect at Gaines Crossroads, while local life is anchored by established places such as Phoenix, Epworth, and Kirksey.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Cuffytown Creek and its many tributaries, including Horsepen Creek and Beaverdam Creek, carving through the terrain. Family-named landmarks and local infrastructure are visible through labels like Tedards Store Rd, Sandridge Baptist Church Rd, and Williams Hill Top Rd, reflecting the long-standing community ties that define this South Carolina Piedmont region.
