About this map

Palmetto and the northern outskirts of Reform anchor this rural landscape in Pickens County, where the topography is defined by the extensive drainage systems of Lubbub Cr and its numerous tributaries. The map reveals a dense network of local routes, such as Water Mill Rd and Ross Richardson Rd, which connect scattered homesteads and small family settlements. A striking concentration of burial grounds, including Unity Grove Upper Cem and Unity Grove Lower Cem, suggests a long-standing community structure rooted in these upland ridges.

Water features like Orrs Lake and Wild Goose Cr punctuate the wooded terrain, illustrating the hydrological complexity of the region. The map also identifies smaller hamlets like Zion and Fairview, providing a clear view of the area's social geography. This survey is particularly useful for genealogical research, as it meticulously preserves the locations of numerous country cemeteries such as Doublebranch Cem and Marvin Hill Cem.
