About this map

The Saluda River creates a natural southern boundary for this region of Newberry County, flowing into the western reaches of Lake Murray. The settlement of Silverstreet serves as a local hub, with roads like Old 96 Rd and Silverstreet Rd connecting the village to surrounding homesteads and crossroads. Further south, Deadfall Crossroads marks a significant junction leading toward the river basin. The landscape is defined by its numerous small drainages, including Beaverdam Cr, Welch Cr, and the Bush River, which feed into the larger Saluda system.

Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including the Bush River Meetinghouse Cem and Shady Grove Cem. Infrastructure like the Higgins Bridge and Kempsons Ferry Bridge provide vital crossings into neighboring Saluda County, highlighting the river's historical role as both a barrier and a corridor for movement and trade in this part of South Carolina.
