About this map

Slater and Marietta anchor the southwestern corner of this South Carolina landscape, where industrial activity and community life intersect along the North Saluda River. The area is characterized by a high density of rural religious and social centers, from Truth Tabernacle in the north to Mount Ararat Ch near the southern border. Notable recreational and institutional sites are prominent, including the Riverside Speedway, a Dirt Race track, and the extensive Travelers Rest Correctional Center.

Transportation history is visible in the Old Railroad Grade winding through the hills, while the natural geography is defined by peaks like Watson Mtn and Chestnut Mountain. To the west, Pleasant Ridge State Park offers a preserved look at the regional terrain. The map's detail provides a clear view of 1980s land use, capturing the transition from the river-bottom settlements to the ridgelines of Coon Top Ridge and Hightower Mtn.
