2017 Map of Pickens

About this map

Pickens serves as the focal point for this Upstate South Carolina landscape, where the town's grid meets the foothills of the Blue Ridge. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, including Walnut Cove Mtn, Glassy Mtn, and Brown Mtn. Water management is a significant feature of the geography, evidenced by the Twelve-Mile-River Watershed Six Reservoir and the Twelve Mile Watershed Structure located near the N Fork Twelvemile Cr. For those researching local families, the map reveals numerous burial sites scattered across the countryside, from Pickens Cem and Sunrise Cem near the town center to more isolated locations like Chastain Cem and Bruce Hagood Cem. Aviation history is represented by the Oolenoy Valley Airport in the north, situated near the Oolenoy River.
