About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes across this terrain, marking the high ground between the north-flowing waters of the Little River and the southern drainage of the Green River. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Saluda Mountains, including Standingstone Mtn and Forked Mtn. Along the watercourses, several notable cascades are documented, such as High Falls and Bridal Veil Falls near Dupont Lake.

Settlement patterns are concentrated around specific corridors like River Falls and Cleveland Heights. For those researching local families, the map identifies the Hooker-Moore Cem and Thomas Cem, along with the Gap Creek Baptist Church and its associated Gap Creek Baptist Church Graveyard. The transition from the high ridges of Raven Rock Ridge and Skipper Ridge down to the valley floor provides a clear picture of how topography influenced the placement of early mountain roads and homesteads.
