2017 Map of Six Mile

About this map

Six Mile and the surrounding Pickens County landscape are defined by a complex network of creeks and small ridges. The topography is dominated by the prominent Sixmile Mtn, while the western edge of the area is transformed by the waters of Lake Keowee. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Boroughs-Gillespie Cem, Kings Grove Cem, and Welcome Cem, are scattered across the terrain, reflecting generations of local settlement. The transition from rural foothills to small industrial and residential centers is visible in the proximity of Cateechee and Norris. Transportation patterns are evidenced by the presence of the Oakview Airport and an extensive network of named roads and specialized trails, including the Pot Belly Pig Logging Road and Wildcat Technical trail, suggesting a modern landscape that balances residential living with active forestry and recreation.
