About this map

The waters of Rocky River and Broadway Lake dominate this portion of Anderson County, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Hencoop Creek and Tugaloo Cr. This survey captures the rural character of the region as it transitions from the southern edge of Anderson toward the community at Saylors Crossroads. The area is notably dense with localized history, marked by a series of long-standing religious landmarks and burial grounds that anchor the local genealogy.

Researchers will find several significant sites clustered near the water bodies and creek valleys, including the Bethlehem Methodist Cem, Ebenezer Methodist Cem, and the Bethany Baptist Cem. The mapping of small tributaries like Nesbit Cr and Neals Cr illustrates the complex drainage of the Piedmont terrain, while named roads like Plantation Rd and Broadway Lake Rd provide a clear view of the twentieth-century residential development and infrastructure connecting these rural settlements.
