2014 Map of Ora

About this map

Laurens and its northeastern rural surroundings are captured in this study of the Upstate landscape, where the urban edge of Watts Mills and Wattsville transitions into the rolling watershed of Duncan Cr. The map documents a cluster of small settlements and transit hubs, from the crossroads at Tylersville and Goodwins Crossroads to the aviation facilities at the Laurens County Airport. Local genealogy is well-served by the inclusion of several burial grounds, including Sandy Springs Cem and Langston Cem, which are tucked away along the network of country roads. Water management is a visible priority across the terrain, evidenced by the Old Clinton Reservoir and the Duncan Creek Watershed Number 6b Reservoir, reflecting the region's hydraulic development for recreation and resource protection.
