About this map

The Reedy River and its numerous tributaries, including Huff Creek and Rocky Creek, define the landscape south of Mauldin in this 2011 survey. The city of Simpsonville serves as the primary urban center, surrounded by residential developments like Cherokee Heights, Westwood, and Hunters Woods. This area reflects a dense network of water management, evidenced by a high concentration of small dams and reservoirs such as Goochs Lake, Kelletts Lake, and several unnamed water sheds.

Genealogists will find a significant number of burial grounds preserved in this suburbanizing landscape, ranging from the Simpsonville Municipal Cemetery in the northeast to the Ready Fork Cemetery and Standing Springs Cemetery further south. Notable landmarks including the Fork Shoals Lookout Tower and crossings such as Jenkins Bridge and Log Shoals Bridge highlight the historical infrastructure of Greenville County. The southern portion of the map transitions into more open terrain, featuring the Great Cane Brake along the river banks.
