2014 Map of Sedalia

About this map

Sumter National Forest dominates the central landscape of this South Carolina quadrangle, where the Enoree River winds through the border between Union and Laurens counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways including Duncan Creek, Padgetts Cr, and the Tyger River in the northeast. Small-scale human history is visible in the scattered cemeteries such as Old Quaker Cem and New Prospects Cem, providing vital clues for genealogical research in this rural region. The small settlement of Sedalia sits north of the river, marked by the Sedalia Lookout Tower, while the northern edge of Whitmire appears in the southeast. Historical crossings like Adams Ford and Odels Ford suggest the long-standing transport patterns that preceded modern bridges. This 2014 survey captures the persistent rural character of the Piedmont, where forestry and agriculture remain the primary land uses across the overlapping boundaries of Union, Laurens, and Newberry counties.
