About this map

Pickens serves as the focal point of this Piedmont landscape, anchored by the Pickens County Courthouse and a network of legacy sites. The town's historical depth is evident in the numerous burial grounds surrounding the center, including the Pickens Presbyterian Church Graveyard and Secona Baptist Church Graveyard. Beyond the developed core, the terrain rises toward the Blue Ridge foothills, marked by distinctive summits like Glassy Mtn and Grassy Knob.

Water management and rural infrastructure define the outskirts, where the Twelve Mile Watershed Structure and Oolenoy Valley Airport sit among the headwaters of Twelvemile Cr. Genealogists will find significant value in the scattered rural cemeteries such as Bruce Hagood Cem. and the Midway Baptist Church Graveyard, which reflect the area's long-established family settlements. The landscape remains defined by its creek valleys, including the Oolenoy River to the north and Town Cr flowing through the southern reaches.
