About this map

The North Saluda River and Mush Creek flow through this section of Greenville County, shaping a landscape defined by small settlements and numerous private impoundments. The community of Lima sits at the junction of Old Highway 25 and the river, while Cross Plains lies to the northeast. A notable density of family and community burial grounds, such as the Hawkins-Hightower Family Cemetery and Cox Chapel Cemetery, provides significant documentation for local genealogists.

Industry and recreation are represented by features like the Riverside Speedway and the mill-associated settlement of Slater. The topography is marked by several prominent heights, including Hightower Mountain, Chestnut Mountain, and Allen Knob. The prevalence of named dams, such as Awanita Lake Dam D-2215 and South Tyger River WCD Dam 2c D-2865, illustrates the complex water management system across the Upstate hills during the early 21st century.
