1983 Map of Liberty

About this map

Liberty and Pickens anchor this study of the South Carolina foothills during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Piedmont, where Twelvemile Creek and Eighteenmile Creek carve through a region transitioning from its traditional agricultural roots to a modern industrial and residential mix. The Southern railway and the specialized Pickens RR provide the structural backbone for local commerce, connecting textile centers like Arial and Easley to the wider region.
