About this map

The Sumter National Forest dominates much of this mid-century landscape where the borders of Edgefield, Saluda, and Greenwood counties converge. This upland region is characterized by a high density of rural religious and civic centers, including Spring Branch Ch, Pine Grove Ch, and the Tompkins Community House. A notable industrial remnant is the Southern Gold Mine, located near the center of the sheet, reflecting the area's mineral history.

Transport is defined by the prominent Long Cane Road, which cuts westward across the terrain toward Crafton. The topography is shaped by numerous waterways like Sleepy Creek and Little Stevens Creek, while elevated points are marked by the Faulkner Mountain Lookout Tower. The small settlement of Owdoms stands in the northeast, serving as a focal point for the surrounding farms and woodland during this era of rural South Carolina history.
