About this map

Silverstreet sits at the heart of this Newberry County landscape, where the rural road network converges on historical hubs like Deadfall Crossroads and Perrys Crossroads. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling waters of Lake Murray, formed by the damming of the Saluda River. This hydrologic landscape is further defined by numerous smaller impoundments such as W Colemans Pond and R Colemans Pond, reflecting the region's managed water resources for agriculture and local industry.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial sites, including the Bush River Meetinghouse Cemetery and New Chapel Cemetery. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways like Beaverdam Creek and Bush River, which dictated the placement of early settlements and transport routes. From the crossroads at Trinity to the river crossing at Higgins, the map provides a precise record of the land's transition from tributary creek beds to the expansive reservoir shoreline.
