About this map

The Sumter National Forest dominates this landscape, where the Enoree River and Tyger River wind through the Piedmont of South Carolina. This survey captures a rural landscape where the border between Union, Laurens, and Newberry counties is defined by these waterways. Cultural and family history are preserved in the concentration of country churches and burial grounds, including the Old Quaker Cem and New Hope Ch with its adjacent cemetery.

In the northwestern corner, the small settlement of Sedalia sits near the Sedalia Lookout Tower, while the northern portion of the map includes Rose Hill State Park. The road network connects outlying institutions like the Carver Sch and Spring Hill Ch, reflecting the community structure of the late 1960s before modern development altered these rural corridors. The proximity of Duncan Creek and Padgetts Creek further emphasizes the river-driven topography of the region.
