About this map

The historic seat of Newberry County serves as the western anchor of this survey, where the campus of Newberry College and the Newberry County Courthouse mark the center of local civic life. Moving east, the landscape transitions from the dense street grids of Newberry into the expansive pine and hardwood stands of the Sumter National Forest. This rural terrain is defined by a high density of early burial grounds and crossroads communities, such as Keitts Crossroads and Browns Crossroads, which suggest a long-established pattern of settlement along the ridges between watercourses like Hellers Cr and Cannons Cr.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific data points here, including family-named landmarks like the Queens Cem and Werts Cem. The eastern portion of the map highlights smaller rural clusters like Saint Phillips and Bachman Chapel, where the Bachman Chapel Cem and Saint Phillips Cem continue to serve as community focal points. Scattered throughout the wooded reaches are isolated landmarks like Greenslades Pond, while northern areas reveal the winding path of Little Kings Cr near Beth Eden.
