2011 Map of Newberry West

About this map

The western outskirts of Newberry and the adjacent community of Helena anchor this survey, revealing a landscape where industrial heritage and agriculture meet. The Oakland Mill stands near the edge of town, while the surrounding countryside is defined by the winding course of the Bush River and Big Beaverdam Creek. Small crossroads settlements like Jalapa, Gary, and Smyrna dot the rural areas, often identified by local landmarks such as the Saint James Cemetery or Smyrna Cemetery. Numerous ponds, including Parrs Pond Number One, suggest a managed water system supporting both agriculture and industry. The presence of specialized operations like Iron's Poultry Farm and Mayer Farms indicates a transition from traditional crops to diverse agribusiness. Transportation is highlighted by significant crossings like Sends Mill Bridge and O'Neall Bridge, which have long connected these rural communities to the regional center.
