About this map

The borderlands between North and South Carolina are defined here by the descent from Bird Mountain and its surrounding ridges toward the fertile basins of the North Pacolet River and South Pacolet River. The city of Landrum serves as a central hub, where the intersection of Us-176 and SC-14 anchors a landscape of small settlements like Bennetts, Springdale, and Ingleside. This geography is shaped by water management and localized industry, evidenced by numerous small impoundments such as Mählers Pond Dam and the larger Lake Lanier to the west.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial grounds, including Good Shepherd Cemetery near the river and the more modern Evergreen Memorial Gardens. Transportation history is recorded through named crossings like Guthrie Bridge and Earle Bridge, while the presence of Fairview Airport and the distinctively named Burnt Chimney Corner provides unique markers of the region's 21st-century development and local nomenclature.
