About this map

Saluda anchors the northeastern corner of this South Carolina landscape, where the town's early infrastructure is visible through a Waterworks, Pumping Sta, and a Heliport. The rural surroundings are defined by a dense network of country congregations and family burial grounds, reflecting the social fabric of the mid-20th century. Notable local landmarks include Lockhart Ch, Gasaway Ch, and Penn Creek Ch, alongside family-named sites like Wright Cem and Hill Cem.

Transport and recreation transitions are evident across the terrain. An Old Railroad Grade traces a path through the timbered hills, while newer developments like the Persimmon Hill Country Club and the County Airport suggest the area's mid-century modernization. The map captures the hydrological divide between numerous tributaries such as Red Bank Creek, Salem Branch, and Little Mine Creek, providing a detailed record of the land before significant late-century suburban expansion reached this part of the Piedmont.
