About this map

Sumter National Forest dominates the rolling landscape of this Piedmont region, where the borders of Greenwood, McCormick, Saluda, and Edgefield counties converge. The area is defined by a dense network of small waterways including Cuffytown Cr, Rocky Cr, and Turkey Cr, which drain the timbered ridges and hollows. Small, dispersed settlements like Limestone and Pittsburg serve as local hubs, connected by winding rural routes such as Scotts Ferry Rd and Brocker Rd.

For family historians, the sheet is notable for its preservation of numerous small burial grounds tucked away in the woods and along field edges, including Penn Cem, Hamilton Cem, and the Liberty Spring Cem near the southern boundary. These cemeteries, alongside local junctions like Sheppard Crossroads and Sullivan Crossroads, indicate a long-standing pattern of rural residency and agricultural life that persists within the forest's boundaries.
