2017 Map of Ridge Spring

About this map

Ridge Spring sits at the nexus of several county boundaries, where Saluda, Edgefield, and Aiken meet in the South Carolina peach country. This 2017 survey details a landscape defined by traditional agriculture and water management, with numerous family-named landmarks such as R M Watsons Pond and J C Watson Pond dotting the drainages. The topography is shaped by the headwaters of the S Fork Edisto River and several tributary branches, including Flat Rock Cr and Easter Br. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific burial sites scattered across the rural acreage, from the Ridge Springs Cem near the town center to more secluded locations like the Easter Branch Cem and Mill Town Cem. The settlement of Ward anchors the northwestern corner, connected by a network of rural routes like Old Plank Rd and Richland Creek Rd that follow the natural rises in the land.
