About this map

The town of Little Mountain and its namesake peak define the landscape of this Newberry County and Lexington County border region. This 2017 survey shows a countryside established around historic family and community landmarks, particularly a network of local cemeteries such as Mount Zion Cem and Mount Tabor Cem. The northern portion of Lake Murray reaches into the southern half of the map, where the shoreline meets smaller settlements like Wheeland and Fairview.

Transitioning from the high ground near Little Mtn down toward the drainage of Crimms Cr and Stevens Cr, the map illustrates a landscape of modern residential development intertwined with older rural foundations. From the community of Slighs to the cluster at Kibler, the road network follows historical property lines and natural topography, providing a clear view of the area's contemporary settlement patterns before the rising waters of the Saluda River basin.
