1964 Map of Red Hill

About this map

The Sumter National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where rural communities are organized around key junctions like Brunson Crossroads and Johnson Crossroads. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Turkey Creek and Beaverdam Creek, which dictated early settlement patterns and the placement of crossings like Siloam Bridge. Cultural life in this corner of Edgefield County is marked by numerous country churches and family burial grounds, such as China Grove Ch, the Hollingsworth-Walker Cem, and Price Cem. The historic Martintown Road cuts through the territory, reflecting a long-established transportation corridor. Genealogists will find a high density of named cemeteries including Cochran Cem and Corley Cem, providing a detailed look at the local family history of the area before modern development expanded.
