1946 Map of Standingstone Mtn.

About this map

Standingstone Mountain towers over this mid-1940s landscape, marking a significant point on the Blue Ridge Divide along the border of North Carolina and South Carolina. This era shows a region defined by its rugged topography and the early development of recreational and conservation areas. Notable landmarks include the Cleveland Fish Hatchery in the south and various camps like Reasonover Camp and Camp Greenville. The presence of several country churches, including Friendship Ch, Holly Springs Ch, and Crab Creek Ch, suggests a dispersed but connected rural community. The complex hydrology of the area is mapped in detail, featuring numerous waterfalls such as Triple Falls, High Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls along the Little River. This survey captures the terrain just as the Buck Forest area was being managed, providing a precise look at the transition between the Saluda Mountains and the northern plateau before modern development altered these watershed paths.
