About this map

Furman University occupies a central position in this survey of the northern Greenville suburbs, where the Piedmont landscape begins its ascent toward Paris Mountain. The mapping reveals a transitional period of residential expansion, with established neighborhoods like Berea and Sans Souci bordering the Saluda River and Saluda Lake. Industrial and transport history is visible in the rail corridors of the Seaboard and Southern lines, which navigate the terrain alongside the Reedy River.

Local landmarks such as Paris Mountain State Park provide a distinct contrast to the developing residential tracts of Sharon Park and Leawood. The presence of numerous community centers like Duncan Chapel Sch and Peoples Bible Ch, along with older sites such as Grandview Cem and Lindseys Lake Cem, offers specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the growth of the Travelers Rest area.
