About this map

Gray Court and the industrial edges of Laurens anchor this 2017 survey of the Upstate South Carolina landscape. The geography is defined by a dense network of country roads like Old Laurens Rd and Hurricane Rd, which connect rural communities and family homesteads. Significant genealogical data is preserved through numerous burial sites, including the Knight Cem, Bolt Family Cem, and Highland Home Cem, reflecting generations of settlement in Laurens County.

The central portion of the map features the distinct peaks of Little Knob and Big Knob, while the Little River and Warrior Cr drain the surrounding terrain. Toward the southeast, the textile heritage of the region is evident near Watts Mills and Wattsville, where the transition from rural acreage to more concentrated residential areas like Georgia Acres is visible. This map documents a modern landscape that still holds its deep-rooted history through landmarks such as Trinity Methodist Church Cem and Barksdale.
