2011 Map of Paris Mountain

About this map

Travelers Rest serves as a central hub in this Upstate South Carolina landscape, where the Reedy River and Enoree River systems define the drainage and early settlement patterns. The map highlights a densely populated transition from the suburban outskirts of Greenville to the prominent elevation of Paris Mountain and Brissey Ridge. This 2011 survey documents a significant concentration of mid-to-late 20th-century residential growth, evidenced by numerous neighborhoods like Mountain Shadows, Berea, and Sans Souci Heights. Educational and recreational land use is prominent, anchored by the Furman University campus and its associated Furman Golf Course. For genealogists, the map is a detailed resource for local burial sites, preserving the locations of Ebenezer Cemetery, Grandview Cemetery, and the Reedy River Cemetery. The prevalence of small dams and named ponds, such as Swan Lake and Bruce Lake, illustrates the engineered water management characteristic of the region's Piedmont terrain.
