About this map

Ropers Crossroads anchors this mid-1960s survey of the wooded boundary between Edgefield and Aiken counties. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous creek systems, including Horn Creek, Cheves Creek, and Tobler Creek, which carve through the Sumter National Forest. The map documents a deeply rooted rural community evidenced by its numerous country churches and social landmarks, such as Science Hill Ch, Jeter Ch, and the Rock Hill Society Hall.

Infrastructure transitions are visible through the marking of an Old Railroad Grade and an early Pipeline corridor. The presence of smaller water bodies like Woodwards Lake and Rainsford Pond highlights the importance of local impoundments in this agricultural and timber-producing region. Genealogists will find particular value in the scattered Cem locations and family-oriented landmarks like Arrowhead Lakes and Highview.
