2011 Map of Six Mile

About this map

Six Mile serves as the central hub of this Pickens County landscape, situated amidst a complex network of waterways including Sixmile Creek and Twelvemile Creek. The topography is dominated by Sixmile Mountain and the expansive waters of Lake Keowee to the northwest. Local history is deeply embedded in the land through numerous family and community burial grounds, such as the Boroughs-Gillespie Cemetery and Norris Cemetery. Small communities like Cateechee and Norris anchor the southern portion of the sheet, while Terrapin Crossroads and Pearidge mark historical intersections to the east. The presence of Oakview Airport and the South Carolina Noname 39019 D-1971 Dam illustrates the modern infrastructure integrated into this traditionally rural area. This 2011 survey provides a clear view of the transition from the lakeside terrain to the established small towns and creek-side settlements that define the region's character.
