About this map

The Old Star Fort (Site) anchors the southeastern landscape of this late-1970s survey, marking a location of deep significance in the South Carolina backcountry. The town of Ninety Six serves as a central hub, where the Southern railway and the Seaboard Coast Line intersect, reflecting the era's transport-oriented layout. Education is a prominent theme, with the presence of Piedmont Technical College, High Sch Ninety Six, and Edgewood Middle Sch indicating the community's growth and infrastructure during this period.

Water features define the northern boundary, particularly the expanse of Lake Greenwood and the Saluda River. Numerous rural congregations such as Youngs Chapel, Friendship Ch, and Marshall Chapel are scattered across the terrain, alongside family-named water bodies like Kate Fowler Branch and Marion Branch. These landmarks, along with the Augusta Highway, provide a clear view of the region's mid-century rural and suburban development.
