2014 Map of Newberry West

About this map

The western reaches of Newberry and the adjacent community of Helena anchor this landscape, where the urban grid gives way to the wooded expanses of the Sumter National Forest. The geography is defined by the winding course of the Bush River, which is crossed by notable local landmarks such as Sends Mill Bridge and ONeall Bridge. These crossings, alongside numerous family and church cemeteries like Smyrna Cem and Browns Chapel Cem, trace the generational settlement patterns of Newberry County. Smaller hamlets and junctions including Jalapa, Gary, and Smyrna are connected by a network of rural routes like Belfast Rd and Bush River Rd. This area reflects a long-standing balance between established residential centers, agricultural land, and protected forest, with the Newberry County Airport serving as a modern transportation hub near the heart of the county seat.
