2014 Map of Silverstreet

About this map

Silverstreet and its rural surroundings in Newberry County and Saluda County are defined by the winding course of the Saluda River, which flows into the northwestern reaches of Lake Murray. This landscape preserves the traditional settlement patterns of the South Carolina Midlands, centered on junctions like Deadfall Crossroads and small communities such as Trinity and Higgins. The map serves as a valuable resource for genealogical research, documenting numerous rural burial sites including the Bush River Meetinghouse Cem, Shady Grove Cem, and Merchant Cem. Movement across the terrain is dictated by historical crossings and modern infrastructure, from the Higgins Bridge to the Kempsons Ferry Bridge near the lake. The interplay between agriculture and water resources is evident in the many small tributaries like Beaverdam Cr and Tosity Cr, alongside man-made features like W Colemans Pond.
