2011 Map of Little Mountain

About this map

Little Mountain stands as the central landmark in this South Carolina Piedmont landscape, surrounded by a high density of rural burial grounds and small communities. Genealogists will find a wealth of records preserved in the placement of Mount Hebron Cemetery, Mount Tabor Cemetery, and Mount Zion Cemetery, among several others that dot the road network. The settlement pattern is defined by historic clusters such as Slighs, Kibler, and Wheeland, connected by a web of local routes including Old Dutch Rd and Koon Trestle Rd. In the south, the terrain descends toward the northern reaches of Lake Murray, where numerous branches and creeks like Camping Creek and Stevens Creek drain into the reservoir. This map documents the rural character and family-linked landmarks of Newberry County just after the turn of the 21st century.
