1983 Map of Slater

About this map

The Saluda River and its north fork define the landscape of northern Greenville County, where industrial history meets the foothills of the Blue Ridge. The company town of Slater is anchored by its textile mill infrastructure and local Golf Course, while nearby Marietta sits at a historic crossroads. Along the river banks, recreational and commercial spaces like the Riverside Speedway and Pleasant Ridge State Park appear alongside agricultural rural settlements like Lima and Locust Hill. Evidence of the area's older transportation network is found in the Old Railroad Grade running south of the river. The map also reveals a dense network of local congregations and community centers, including North Greenville Ch, Walnut Grove Ch, and Mush Creek Ch, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this Piedmont region.
