1996 Map of Salem
USGS Topo · Published 2000About this map
Lake Jocassee and Lake Keowee dominate this landscape on the border of Oconee and Pickens Counties, reflecting a mid-20th-century transformation of the upper Piedmont. While the topography was compiled in the 1950s, this later edition shows the established waters of the reservoir system and protected lands like Devils Fork State Park and Keowee Toxaway State Park. The town of Salem serves as a central point of settlement, surrounded by rural landmarks including the Salem Davidian Ch and McKinney Chapel. The map documents the convergence of the Toxaway River, Whitewater River, and Thompson River, whose original paths are now part of the lake system. High points such as McKinney Mtn and Smeltzer Mtn rise above the drainage basins, with a Lookout Tower positioned for forest surveillance within the Sumter National Forest.
