About this map

Six Mile and Norris anchor this landscape where the Piedmont hills of Pickens County transition between major water bodies. To the west, the expansive Lake Keowee dominates the terrain, while the southern edge is defined by the headwaters of Hartwell Lake and the smaller Issaqueena Lake. This area is characterized by a dense network of local roads and named family cemeteries, such as Mile Creek Cem and Kings Grove Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogists tracing ancestral roots in the region.

Sixmile Mtn rises as a prominent topographical feature north of Pearidge, while the presence of Oakview Airport near the town of Six Mile reflects modern regional infrastructure. The map reveals how the local economy and settlement patterns are bound by the numerous waterways, including Twelvemile Creek and Mile Cr, which carved the valleys long before the creation of the large reservoirs that now frame the quadrangle.
