About this map

Red Bank Creek and Little Saluda River drain a rural Piedmont landscape where the town of Saluda sits at the northeastern edge of this mid-1960s survey. The area is characterized by a dense network of small rural congregations and family burial grounds, including Bethlehem Ch, Mt Calvary Ch, and Gassaway Cem. Traces of former transport corridors are visible in the Old Railroad Grade and Long Cane Road, marking the evolution of South Carolina's interior trade routes.

Industrial and community developments appear as distinct pockets within the agricultural and wooded terrain. The Elmeredge Plantation Landing Strip and the Persimmon Hill Country Club represent mid-century land use shifts, while the Waterworks Pumping Sta at the Reservoir signifies the growing infrastructure for the nearby county seat. Settlements like Limp and Wheeler anchor the rural crossroads, surrounded by numerous small water bodies and the winding paths of Mine Creek and Salem Branch.
