1983 Map of Piercetown

About this map

Piercetown and the surrounding rural communities of Anderson County are characterized by a dense network of country churches and schools that served this Piedmont landscape in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The area is defined by its numerous small waterways, including Three and Twenty Creek and Hurricane Creek, which carve through the terrain near landmarks like Stringer Ridge. This provisional survey preserves the locations of local institutions such as Pickens Chapel and its associated Pickens Chapel Cem, alongside later developments like the Anderson Speedway. The presence of the Stringer Ridge Lookout Tower highlights the area's elevation and the importance of forest monitoring in this region. Educational hubs are centered around the Wren High Sch and Spearman Sch, reflecting the community structure of White Plains and Fairfield during this era of growth.
