2020 Map of Landrum

About this map

Landrum and Columbus anchor this cross-border survey, which captures the complex topography where the foothills meet the Blue Ridge escarpment. The North Carolina-South Carolina state line bisects the map, passing through Mockingbird Hill and just north of Lake Lanier. The area is characterized by numerous small churchyards and burial grounds that define the local genealogy, including the Columbus Presbyterian Church Graveyard and Morgan Chapel Baptist Church Graveyard. Transport networks follow the river valleys and ridges, with the North Pacolet River and S Pacolet River providing the primary drainage. Notable crossings like Earle Bridge and Guthrie Bridge connect rural communities such as Ingleside and Campobello. The presence of the Fairview Airport and modern memorial sites like Polk Memorial Gardens reflects the ongoing development of this corridor between Spartanburg County and Polk County.
