2024 Map of Seneca

About this map

The Seneca region of South Carolina is defined by the significant convergence of the Keowee River and the Seneca River, where the waters wind through Oconee County just west of the Pickens County line. This modern landscape shows a developed network of settlements including Utica, Newry, and Bounty Land, interspersed with numerous community-anchoring sites. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds, from the central Mountain View Cem to the outlying Fairview Community Church Graveyard and the Hepsibah Baptist Church Graveyard in the south. The area’s transition from a river-focused rural economy to a modern regional hub is evident in the presence of both the Oconee County Regional Airport and the Eagle Ridge Airport, while smaller creeks like Speeds Creek and Coneross Creek continue to trace the original topography of the Piedmont hills.
