1969 Map of Sedalia

About this map

The Sumter National Forest dominates this Piedmont landscape, where the confluence of rivers and creeks historically shaped the settlement of Union, Laurens, and Newberry counties. In the late 1960s, the terrain was defined by the winding paths of the Enoree River and Tyger River, with the small community of Sedalia and the northern edge of Whitmire serving as local hubs. The presence of the Old Quaker Cem and Padgetts Creek Ch suggests deep roots in the area's early religious and social history, likely predating the formal boundaries of Rose Hill State Park.
