2015 Map of Severy North

About this map

The town of Climax and the northern edge of Severy anchor this section of Greenwood County, where the landscape is defined by the convergence of several major waterways. The Fall River and its broad valley dominate the northeast, feeding into Fall River Lake, while a network of smaller tributaries including Otter Creek, Snake Cr, and Casner Cr carve through the agricultural grid. This topography created early transportation challenges, evidenced by landmarks like the Honey Creek Bridge crossing Honey Creek. The rural road network, composed largely of township roads like TWP RD 594 and TWP RD 410, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. Genealogists can identify established burial grounds such as Twin Grove Cem and Lawn Cem, providing essential anchor points for family history research in this prairie environment.
