2020 Map of Silverstreet

About this map

The Saluda River defines the southern portion of this landscape, marking the boundary between Newberry and Saluda counties. This region of South Carolina is characterized by its network of rural crossroads and established family settlements, anchored by the town of Silverstreet. To the east, Deadfall Crossroads serves as a junction for several historic local routes, including Deadfall Rd and Elisha Church Rd. The map is particularly notable for genealogists, as it preserves the locations of several community burial grounds such as Bush River Meetinghouse Cem, New Chapel Cem, and Shady Grove Cem. Along the water courses like Beaverdam Cr and the Bush River, the land reveals a pattern of agricultural development and small ponds, including W Colemans Pond, which reflects the long-standing land-use traditions of this Piedmont area.
